a rocker goes classical

For decades, Jon Lord was the keyboard player for Deep Purple, the British rock band that brought you "Smoke on the Water,""Hush" and "Woman from Tokyo." But now he's concentrating on classical composition. Today's show features the second half of a two-part conversation with Lord, as well as the second movement of his orchestral work, "Disguises," performed by Paul Mann and the Odense Sinfoniorkester.
