4 stars Lord learnt from the bottlenecks of his previous 2 classically inspired works and came up with an improved results on "Sarabande". The fusion between the orchestra and Lord's instruments (moog, organ, piano, synths) are more seamless and less pompous. Lord has invested more time in composing music with motives spanning the long pieces. There are loud full-fledged ouvertures as well as beautiful calm tracks ("Aria" with leading piano and beautiful synths). Other rocks players get space to provide a solo or two but they do not dominate. It's Lord instruments that glue everything together. This is a well thought symbiosis of classical music and ambitious/progressive rock playing.
