About this album

Sarabande is one of Jon Lord’s most ambitious solo statements, fusing rock momentum with classical form and orchestral scale. Issued in 1976, the album shows the Deep Purple keyboardist moving beyond hard rock into symphonic rock, with extended instrumental writing that draws on baroque dance forms, dramatic themes and vivid contrasts. Built around Lord’s commanding keyboards and strong ensemble arrangements, it highlights his gift for turning progressive ideas into memorable, expansive pieces. For listeners interested in the meeting point between rock, classical influence and late-1970s prog ambition, Sarabande stands as a distinctive and enduring work in Lord’s catalogue.
