They were one of those troupes who belong to their era while being timeless – they were PARZIVAL, a German ensemble who masterfully married medieval folk to rock and, as befitted classically trained players, made this blend progressive. Yet, having started in 1969, the Bremen band run their course in a few years, after only two platters: 1969’s “Legend” and “Barock” from 1973… to come back now, almost five decades later. More so, now the old trio return in the company of 130 musicians from 23 countries, presenting 23 fresh pieces that the double album titled “David – The Hymn” is comprised of, and proposing a critical view of our times and our current crises.
