‘Stormbringers’ by Sinfӧnicca is a musical homage to the genius of Deep Purple
Deep Purple has been described as ‘music for show-offs’, however if you are blessed musical talent on an industrial scale why not show off a bit?
After all, Jon Lord was a genius of the Hammond Organ and Ritchie Blackmore is Paganini and J.S Bach rolled into one.
Add to the mix a world class drummer, rock sold bass three great vocalists and some legendary compositions, and you have the recipe for greatness.
If you love Deep Purple, there’s no point in going into the studio to create records which attempt to replicate what the various incarnations of Purple did first time round.
This set of variations for group and orchestra is celebration of Deep Purple which combines three complimentary genres of music: a heavy rock band, a full orchestra and medieval Gregorian chant. Together these musical forces are combined under musical direction of Bob Carruthers to create powerful symphonic metal variations on the music of Deep Purple arranged for group and orchestra which transport the listener to an altogether different place in the musical universe.
Bob’s long-term musical collaborators are Iron Tyger the award-winning Sussex Rock band featuring the stunning female lead vocal of Roz Smith and the virtuoso talent of Jonny Smale on guitar. Sound production on the Sinfӧnicca albums is by Ben Darlow who learned his trade on albums such as ‘Roll The Bones’ by Rush and became the long-term engineer and collaborator with Mike Oldfield.

Bob was the Executive Producer of the famous Bedrock series and in the rock world is today best known for his work with Asia, Uriah Heep, Wishbone Ash, Jethro Tull, ELP, Caravan, Focus, John Wetton, Hawkwind, Ian Gillan, Fairport Convention, Mostly Autumn, Nektar, Steve Hackett, The Strawbs, Rick Wakeman, Iron Tyger and a host of others.
However, Bob began his career as a producer of classical music, so it’s no surprise that the Sinfӧnicca albums are often collaborative efforts which often combine the power of a hard rock band with virtuoso classical soloists and the London Symphonia Chamber Orchestra conducted by James Gambold.

By combining the timeless creations of the great composers with rock instrumentation, vocals and lyrics inspired by the great writers, Bob’s vision for Sinfӧnicca reaches far beyond merely arranging the music of the maestros.
Bob’s unique concept was to combine the power of a rock band, virtuoso soloists, and chamber orchestra with the eerie and ethereal quality of Gregorian chant and medieval plainsong.
With all three key musical elements in place the Sinfӧnicca project immediately began to generate some amazing musical chemistry,
Judging from the warmth of feedback from hundreds of thousands of listeners out there, Sinfӧnicca has definitely struck a chord with classic rock music lovers who also embrace the works of the great composers.
