The Books

The two sizes of the book – the coffee table book to the left, the standard size, softcover book to the right. The Agfa Solinette II in the foreground is included merely for decorative purposes – it was not used in the creation of the book.

“Jon Lord in the Nidaros Cathedral” takes you behind the curtain and into the last rehearsal prior to Jon Lord’s final concert at Trondheim’s mighty Nidaros Cathedral in Norway in 2010.
Trond J. Strøm’s black and white photographs – carefully processed and lovingly presented in this exclusive book – portray Jon Lord in his right element – interacting with fellow musicians from the worlds of rock and classical music.
Featuring the rhythm section from progressive metal band Opeth, and an orchestra assembled for the occassion by some of Norway’s finest classical musicians, the concert was a sold out success.
Jon Lord had already performed two very successful concerts at this cathedral. The first, in 2003, was so warmly recieved that it reinforced Jon in his decision to quit hard rock with legendary band Deep Purple and pursue a solo career with orchestral music.
This book offers a terrific visual insight into Jon Lord at work, doing what he loved the most: Creating the music that transcended genres and barriers.

I’m proud to announce that the book has been published.

It is available in two different sizes, with two editions for each size.

All editions have the same 58 photographs printed on 46 pages. The variations are just in binding quality, size, and for the top edition, the photo paper. The photo paper used on the three first editions is very good. The fourth is outstanding.

Although the numbers might not indicate so, the size difference is significant.

All prices are for the book only. Shipping, and potentially VAT (depending local law in your country of residence), will come in addition. Shipping costs will be added in the shopping cart before checkout.

As this is a publish-on-demand title, please allow some time for the book to be printed before it is shipped to you. Expected shipping time will be displayed during the shopping process. In general, I’d tell you to expect at least one week from ordrering until you receive the book, and possibly two weeks or more, too.

As the expenses for the project has been met, any further profit from sales will be donated in full to the Norwegian Cancer Society. The first donation has been made.(https://kreftforeningen.no/en/main-priorities/). The profit is set to roughly USD $10 per book for all editions, except the “deluxe” edition (4), where profit is set to USD $25.
