Novalis / Novalis (1975)


Germany

Progressive Rock, Symphonic Prog, Art Rock

Immersed in an imaginary that refers to a certain nineteenth-century romanticism, the Novalis come with the second record to define their proposal of symphonic Prog dominated by keyboards, not without merits but also, to tell the truth, decidedly dated and at times a bit cloying. The instrumental pieces are good, in particular Sonnengeflecht and, above all, Impressionen (which mentions Anton Bruckner's fifth symphony and which evokes some emotion). They will do much better, and in a more original way, on their third album, Sommerabend.
