intellectual and meaningful, the Zappa of keyboards.......1998-10-15

If you like Whitemann's (from YES) recordings with London Symphonic Orchestra (ex. 'King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table', 'The 6 wives of Henry VIII' etc... or Frank Zappa's classical recordings, you'll love this album and the other post-Deep Purple albums Lord recorded (Willows and Sarabande). It's a mixture of classical, jazz and rock well balanced and, at the same time, sophisticated and philosophical.

DP hits another homer!.......2007-06-12

I've got the concerto on CD and DVD, just waiting for the DVD release of the Gemini Suite. If you don't have the first piece on DVD, it's a must have for any DP fan. I have to agree with R. L. Miller on the point that the two styles of music don't compliment each other very well on the suite, but the concerto I feel is a different and much better grouping.

Buy this or the concerto and never regret it!

Hard Rock and Light Classical don't mix seamlessly..........2000-11-10

...and that's what's so good about this album. Most times it's been done ("Days Of Future Passed", "Procol Harum Live With the Edmonton Symphony", ELP's "Works Live"), there has been an attempt to blend the two forms in a way that won't clash. But composer-organist Jon Lord implied strongly in the liner notes to this work's predecessor "Concerto For Group & Orchestra" that the rock band and the symphony orchestra were practically natural enemies. The searing hard-blues soloing of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore has no direct counterpart in the symphonic environment, nor do Lord's own solos--Hammond rather than pipe organ, stylistically closer to Booker T than Bach. The only things that blend in all that smoothly are the drum and bass solos. Perhaps Lord overstated the "enmity" between the two ensemble types a bit--I can relate to that, sharing Lord's membership in rock's original generation. After all, the classical crowd called our stuff "noise"--we called their stuff ponderous and boring (BOTH generations were being abysmally narrow minded). It is that very dichotomy that differentiates this piece from the general run of either genre. Not that there should have been too many more such fusions--you've got the concept of overkill at work there. But occaisional musical "WWF Smackdowns" like this piece and the "Concerto" do tend to rescue us from when things fit too well together. This is the better of the two, but if you don't have the other, go get it.

4 stars for John Lord.......2000-04-19

Gemini suite was the second orchestra work of john Lord, once again was conducted by Malcolm Arnold in 1970. This one is quite different than the first orchestral work in 1969. The vocal improvisation by Ian Gillan is excellent. LOVE DP!

good orchestra hard rock band.......1999-11-01

DP played with Orchetsra at the royal festival hall London 70,..the idea of Jon Lord, conducted once again by Malcolm arnold,.. Nice booklet with a nice cd,..three point for this album cd.
