- Listen more than once
I bought this recording because my son, a student at Durham, was in the cathedral for the first live performance and rated it highly. I was a Deep Purple fan in my youth, too! The first time I listened to the concerto all the way through I was left feeling slightly 'flat', as other reviewers have commented, but I have listened to it quite a few times now and love it more and more. I was going to say that 'From Prebends Bridge' is my favourite movement but I went and checked the CD and decided I'd be hard pushed to chose one track above the others. Listen to them all - more than once - and see what you think!

Rating:

- A dirge
A dull dirge from start to finish. Track 2 however is worth a listen. A celebration it is not.

I wrote this review before and it never appeared on here. As an old fan of Jon Lord's I expected to enjoy this - I didn't, I found it boring!

- From Rock Star to Classical Star
Jon Lord (formerly Deep Purple) has successfully turned from a rock star to a classical star.

I have always been a fan of Deep Purple and was a bit sceptical about rock /pop stars going into classical music (e.g. Paul McCartney) but Durham Concerto has changed my mind on that.

It's beautiful melody captures the listener's minds and draws them into a smoothing, comforting and tranquil world. My favourite track on the album is Rags & Galas with its upbeat rhythm and wonderous accompaniment.

This album is not just for those with a classical ear but those who enjoy music in all its form.

- the sound of the north
Jon Lord is best known for playing in rock group Deep Purple. For over 30 years from the late 60's to 2001 he straddled the classical and rock music worlds, before deciding to concentrate on classical music.

The Durham Concerto was commissioned by Durham University to mark their 175th anniversary. It had it's premiere in Durham Cathedral in 2007. It shows that Jon Lord is a cut above most rock musicians who produce classical pieces. He doesn't make things too complicated. He doesn't use too many notes. He lets his music breathe. He also has the good sense to base this work around the talents of a few excellent musicians: cellist Matthew Barley, violinist Ruth Palmer, and most distinctive of all Northumbrian pipe player Kathryn Tickell. ...
