German 1970's band from Bremen, mixing pop, avant-garde, classical and medieval musics.
Originating in 1965 as The Chamberlains (with singer/guitarist Lothar Siems and drummer Thomas Olivier), in 1967 they joined up with multi-instrumental talent Walter Quintus, and went on to tour France under the guise of "Siems/Quintus/Olivier". Quintus was an accomplished classically trained musician, a sound explorer who had tried his hand at many things. In 1969, after graduating musical studies at the Beazzic Conservatory they re-baptised the band Parzival, after the folklore legend.
