Deep Purple, Concerto for Group and Orchestra
And lots of Keith Emerson's pillaging of classical music's back catalogue!
Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zau-okpFssg
Released in 1971 Salisbury by Uriah Heep was always one of my favorite Prog Rock albums and groups.
I recently re-listened to the re-mastered title track on my high end system for the first time. Kind of blew my mind. 16 minutes long.
I concluded that I’ve always enjoyed orchestrated rock, which probalby started with Neal Young’s Harvest.
Any suggestions of other classic rock groups that used orchestration would be appreciated.

@yoyoyaya: That Deep Purple/ Orchestra recording is musically awful! I bought it back in 1968 when I was in high school. The worst Deep Purple album hands down! Another awful collaboration is Metallica performing Alban Berg’s opera Lulu. |
