Background: Classically trained composer and keyboard player Jon Lord is best known for his 40-year involvement in the rock group Deep Purple. In 2002 he decided to devote his time to classical composing. 'To Notice Such Things' is a collection of four newly-recorded orchestral works featuring the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Jon Lord himself on piano. The title work - which takes its name from the last line of the Thomas Hardy poem 'Afterwards' - is scored for flute, piano and strings and is a poignant tribute to Lord's long time friend, the late John Mortimer, CBE, QC.

Each of the suite’s six movements recalls some aspect of Mortimer’s illustrious life and career, from literature, liberalism and legalese, to days in the country and musings on life itself. This recording serves as the lasting memento of a great, beloved English eccentric.

Also on the album is a gorgeous instrumental arrangement of Lord's 'Evening Song' (the original appears on the best-selling album 'Pictured Within'); For Example, a double homage to one of Lord's early piano teacher and an early favourite composer, Edvard Grieg; and 'Air on a Blue String', a blues-meets-Bach fusion. The album ends with Jeremy Irons reading of the poem 'Afterwards', accompanied by Lord on the piano.
