Sarabande is the second solo album by Jon Lord recorded in September 1975 near Düsseldorf (Germany).
The complete Sarabande suite was premiered in live performance in Budapest on 18 September 2010 and later in Sofia on 30 October and Essen on 15 November.
'Finale' was rearranged to allow the ‘parade of themes’ section (which was done with tape-loops on the recording) to be played live.
[3] The cover shows the drawing of an ouroboros, a mythological snake, biting its own tail on which three naked women ride.
The original Jon Lord sleeve was designed by Kosh, and the illustration by Mike Bryan.
