Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Concerto for Group and Orchestra is the debut live album by Deep Purple, released in 1969. It is a collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Malcolm Arnold.At the time of its release, it surprised many, because it was the first mainstream collaboration between a rock band and a classical orchestra.note  That is, if you don't count Frank Zappa, who already worked together with a classical orchestra on his solo album Lumpy Gravy (1968) and also performed live on stage with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1968 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. However, the aforementioned concert would only become available on CD on Ahead of Their Time (1993). And, of course, The Beatles also asked George Martin's help for orchestral accompaniment as early as "Eleanor Rigby" on Revolver (1966), not to mention "A Day in the Life"'s exploding orchestra on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). It paved the way for other famous rock/orchestra collaborations in the future, and likely the entire genre of Symphonic Metal.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Interestingly enough, Concerto for Group and Orchestra happened relatively early in Deep Purple's career - in fact, it's the first album officially released by the classic "Mark II" lineup. The song "Child in Time" even debuted on this album, before it was featured again in a hard rock version on Deep Purple in Rock.In 1999, 30 years after the first performance, the concert would be performed again with a recreated score (the original score was lost in 1970).

comment
New Sound Album: This album was a genuine departure from the group's previous output and it still is in their entire repertoire. At the time, it was also the first major collaboration between a rock band and a classical orchestra, despite minor predecessors such as The Beatles and Frank Zappa.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Despite being the first Deep Purple release to feature the Mark II lineup, the album maintains the more psychedelic sound of the Mark I band.

Epic Rocking: Well... how much more epic can you get? The tracks are veritable jams that stretch out several minutes, like the 25:13 "Symphony No. 6, Opus 95" and the title track, which goes on for 51:43 straight ahead! All this, backed by the huge Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Instrumentals: The music is mostly instrumental, due to the nature of classical music, of course.

Distinct Double Album
 Concerto for Group and Orchestra (Music) / int_b134a27d
comment
Distinct Double Album: Inevitable, seeing the length of the standard classical piece. (It is worth noting that the original vinyl release contained only the "Concerto for Group and Orchestra", and was released on a single LP, which required splitting the second movement across two album sides and stretched the limitations of what would fit on a side of vinyl. The other tracks have been added to reissues of the album. The entire concert takes up three LPs or two CDs).

comment
Progressive Rock: The album is one of the more unique classics in the genre, given that an actual classical orchestra is performing along with a rock band. While rock bands had used orchestral elements before, no prior collaboration between a rock band and an orchestra had been this extensive.
