Deep Purple with Orchestra Live at Montreux

Continuing a long tradition of legends in rock music, Deep Purple performed with a symphony orchestra on the last night of Switzerland's prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival this summer, re-inventing their classic catalog. According to a press release, the entire performance will be simultaneously released next Tuesday, November 8thas a DVD, Blu-Ray, and 2 CD package, all entitled Deep Purple with Orchestra Live at Montreux 2011.

Included on the DVD and Blu-Ray is a bonus in-depth band interview. Deep Purple classics such as "Highway Star, " "Lazy, " "Strange Kind of Woman, " "Perfect Strangers, " "Woman From Tokyo, " "Hush, " "Black Night, " "Smoke On The Water" and 11 other songs are preserved in high definition video and DTS Surround Sound, Dolby Digital 5.1, and Dolby Digital Stereo for the CD package. Also included on the DVD and Blu-Ray is a bonus in-depth band interview.

Deep Purple's Ian Gillan (vocals), Ian Paice (drums), Roger Glover (bass), Steve Morse (guitar) and Don Airey (keyboards) can be seen visibly pleased with how the sound of the orchestra, directed by Stephen "BK" Bentley-Klein, mesh with their live sound.
