Pictured in Yekaterinburg

Jon Lord photographed during rehearsals in Yekaterinburg, Russia, October 2009.

All photos by Ilya Galkov, clarinetist with the local orchestra. He writes about the experience:

– It was great, one of my best stage experiences ever. From the very first moment Jon entered our rehearsal hall there was a continuous drive from his energy. I couldn’t understand how some of the orchestra musicians could sit still – my body just moved to the beat by itself. I liked very much how open Jon and band and singers are, says Ilya Galkov.
