Parzifal
Barock
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.
