Description:

For Windows, all-rounder Jon Lord again teamed up with the conductor and composer Eberhard Schoener and no other than Tony Ashton, Deep Purple bandmates David Coverdale (Whitesnake, Deep Purple) and Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath), Pete York and Ray Fenwick (Ian Gillan Band) who united their talents to make Windows another milestone of Jon Lordâ??s career. Recorded live in 1974 in Munich, the performance consists of two main pieces. The first track, â??Continuo on B.A.C.H.â?, is a truly unique project. Based on a scale using the notes represented by his own name, Johann Sebastian Bach started working on a fugue, which he unfortunately couldnâ??t complete before his death. Now Lordâ??s and Schoenerâ??s realization and interpretation of what Bach once started is being released completely remastered for vinyl. - REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL STEREO TAPES

Composed by Jon Lord and the German composer and conductor Eberhard Schoener, 'Windows' was recorded live on June 1st, 1974 at the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz with the Orchestra of the Munich Chamber Opera conducted by Eberhard Schoener. The band for this special occasion is star-studded with musicians like Jon Lord's former bandmates David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes as well as Tony Ashton, Ray Fenwick and Pete York. Windows consists of two parts. "Continuo on B. A. C. H" is based on an unfinished fugue by J. S. Bach, which was based on a scale using the notes represented by his own name. Lord and Schoener interpreted and 'finished' it. "Window" is based on the idea of a form of chain poetry called Renga, developed during the 14th century in Far-East, where a group of poets co-writing would lock themselves away, writing each verse in turn and continue until the finished product emerged. The recording was re-mastered by Rob Cass at Abbey Road Studios and the artwork was reinterpreted.

Recorded during the Eurovision Presentation of Prix Jeunesse on Saturday, June 1st, 1974 at the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz. Mixed at Musicland Studios, Munich. Remastered 2017 by Rob Cass and Frank Arkwright from the original stereo mixes at Abbey Road studios
