In truth the music is distant to Prog, very distant. But not for all songs. The songs that should be reported and explained individually are:...

...Parsifal'' for the first time. You almost guessed, - I answered, - he played with this band for some time, though not on this album. Today, when I listened to the album, she said that some tracks sound like Pupo If seriously, Parsifal has its moments. The album starts promisingly with almost 7-minute ''L'Anno, Il Posto, L'Ora'' - delicate...

The Wagner Cube

...Parsifal for Hans Knappertsbusch in 1962, though I prefer Jon Vickers from 1964, despite the mono sound. Anja Silja features prominently as Sawallisch's go-to gal for the soprano roles of Elsa, Elisabeth, and Senta. I don't know that I am in love with Silja, but she's not terrible.
