43 years of age ... final collection original pressing
Brilliant double records concept album in elaborately designed gatefold cover with pages inside the gatefold ... This is "Krautrock" at it's peak, loaded-up with top flight skilled musicians ... the audio works are surreal in terms of listening on a good stereo system...
Richard Schönherz became famous as creator of the concept work 'Victor' in 1975.
'Victor' is widely considered a milestone of progressive-rock, a concept album that creates the balance between symphonic progressive and sophisticated rock in a unique way.
With the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Academy Chamber Choir, musicians such as the recently deceased Kurt Hauenstein (Supermax), Harry Stojka, Achim Buchstab or Johan Daansers, 'Victor' became a cinematic masterpiece about the power of youth and a plea for deference to authority, war and cruelty.
Partly recorded and mixed in the legendary Abbey Road Studios, 'Victor' still is a timeless work that is worth exploring.
This original contains the complete, extensive in-bound booklet in the creatively enhanced gatefold
