Parzival

It wass the important German producer Conny Plank who signed the band for Telefunken Records 1971,� the first album "Legend" was released. Avant-garde classic rock, which many critics enthused: "Classical, jazz and rock blend into a convincing sound" (Basler Zeitung), "Sound locks of discrete elegance and beauty" (Frankfurter Allgemeine), "One of the most interesting groups in Europe" (Melody Maker). Consistently� the musicians followed their course to the 2. and final album of 1973."BaRock" was a perfect�� blend of progressive folk, art rock and classical elements. The musicians had also looked for reinforcements for the recordings. The Aachener Zeitung (German daily paper) wrote after the release: "This is not only worth listening to music of the 70s, that's almost a chore to listen to. Here different influences merge into a warm convincing sound. "Nevertheless, "BaRock became the final step of PARZIVAL. The band split! The musicians were spread in all directions. In 1977 Lothar Siems and Walter Quintus� released the critically acclaimed rock opera "Der Fr" . Quintus is still successful working in the music business. The history of PARZIVAL however, was terminated.After the debut album "Legend" (Sireena 4007) Sireena Records now releases�� the final album "BaRock" again on heavy 180 gram vinyl, too. Unlike the original edition� this album appears even in the gatefold� cover. Another document from the� probably most innovative years of rock music.
