That a combination of rock band and orchestra can turn out very well, we have known since the end of 1969. Deep Purple then released Concerto For Group And Orchestra, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in London. So it's not the smallest of footsteps that DeWolff tries to fill with the Metropole Orchestra. With whom the three Limburgers at least share a preference… for playing long, instrumental pieces. So far the theory. The practice, as you can hear on this registration of the joint performances in September 2020, sounds like a clock. Pablo van de Poel's ripping guitar seems to go perfectly with the strings of the orchestra and the heavy saxophone in Live Like You (one of the highlights) is not out of place either. It's nice to hear the orchestra and band give each other space and push each other to great heights. The story goes that Roger Glover already heard De Wolff's bluesy, Hammond organ-driven sound for his own Deep Purple. (RME)more
