I've never heard that.
I seem to remember that the score was lost, and it was transcribed from the lone recording available, or something...
I'd gladly read your opinion on the piece if you care to share.

Truly a great fusion between classical music and what I see as the early psychedelic period of Deep Purple. Organ music and long instrumentals, without any harsh sounds.

If you like Deep Purple, and can at least tolerate classical music, it is a good addition to your collection.

I have a couple of long drives coming up, have to load that up on the iPhone and give it a go.

I love both. I'm not the biggest fan of the rock+symph projects, but this seems to be something different.
I'll have to hear this soon.
Thanks for sharing!
