Collegium Musicum - Konvergencie

Konvergencie was released before the end of 1971, a double album with only one track each side. „P.F. 1972” showcased Marian Varga’s distinctive organ style,sometimes in dialogue with ace guitarist Frantisek Griglak, soon to form Fermata,The Slovakian equivalent of Mahavishnu Orchestra or Iceberg.The track was divided into several interrelated sections, including one sung by a children’s choir.”Suita po tisic a jednej noci” /1001 night suite/ was a free interpretation of themes from Rimsky-Korzakov’s famous Scheherazade performed live with a lot of extended organ and guitar solos.”Piesne z kolovratu” was a suite of small songs inspired by Czechoslovakian folk music and with lirics written by poet Kamil Peteraj.They have a soft and romantic feel and are blended together by elegant musical ornaments. Those who enjoy this track should check out the first Prudy album /from 1969/ and the later collaborations with with Pavol Hammel.”Eufonia” was a more experimental track with Varga squeezing out even stranger noises from his organ than Mike Ratledge had done before him
