Lord Of Lords (Vinyl) (Import)
Lord of Lords is an album by Alice Coltrane, recorded in California in July 1972, and issued in 1973 by Impulse! Records – her final release for the label.
On the album, Coltrane appears on piano, organ, harp, timpani, and percussion, and is joined by bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Ben Riley, and a string ensemble, which she conducts. Lord of Lords features three original compositions along with excerpts from Igor Stravinsky’s The Firebird and an arrangement of the piece “Going Home”, which was, in turn, adapted from the second movement of Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 in D.
It was the third in a series of three albums (following Universal Consciousness and World Galaxy) on which Coltrane appeared with an ensemble of strings.
