After
the 1969 classical / rock fusion Concerto for Group and Orchestra, Jon
Lord was commissioned to write a follow-up. This was Gemini Suite, five
long movements inspired by the members of Deep Purple, and performed
live in September 1970 at the Royal Festival Hall with The Light Music
Society Orchestra (the album of the concert was issued in 1993 as Gemini
Suite Live). Jon Lord then recorded it in the studio as his first solo
project in 1971, with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Malcolm
Arnold and soloists drawn from the rock world. Gemini Suite was an
important step for Lord and led to albums such as Windows (1974) and
Sarabande (1976).
The album was originally released in Europe and
America in 1971 with different cover artwork. The 1973 US reissue
featured a third version of the cover artwork. In 1983 the album was
re-released on LP in Germany and four years later also for the first
time on CD.
