PARZIVAL - BaRock (1973 Germany Prog Folk)Full Album

Parzival biography German folky prog band from the early 70's emphasizing guitar, violin, and flute. The music they created between them was an unusual combination of German folk, classical and medieval music with a rich instrumentation and rock aestethics. Violin, viola, cello and flute are used as well as typical rock instrumetation (organ, guitars, etc.). Only "Legend" is folk related, with nice use of cello and flute with rock band. The later "BaRock" combined both the baroque and rock on the more commercial level, and thus being more song based it was far less exciting. The CD contains a very good long improvisation track.
