"Krywan, Krywan" is the seventh album of the Scheldd. It is a conglomerate of prog rock, folk music and classical inspirations. This is one of the band's best, most original and most attractive albums.
As the band themselves explained on the album envelope: "Krywan - a mysterious word is simply the name of one of the peaks in the Slovak Tatras. The mountain is very picturesque, so it's no wonder it has become the subject of one of the most beautiful highlander folk songs, a reflective ballad titled 'Covering, Covering'. This song served us as the leitmotif of an elaborate piece with which we wanted to summarize our musical activity so far. Therefore, in improvisations you can find things typical of us, such as highlander or classical motifs, and even quotes from fragments from works by great composers such as Bach, Mussorgski, Borodin or Rossini.
Guessing the titles of these tracks is already a task for our listeners. Oh and one more thing. We recorded this album on the night of 22-23.V.72 between 6pm and 2pm. in the Warsaw National Philharmonic Hall".
You can listen to the album endlessly - guessing and wandering along with sounds to the peaks of your musical imagination. Cover by Waldemar Świerzy.
