About Triumvirat:

Triumvirat was a German progressive rock band that was formed in 1969 by its founder, keyboardist and lead vocalist, Jürgen Fritz. The band's name was inspired by the ancient Roman triumvirate, which refers to a group of three people who share power. Triumvirat's music was heavily influenced by classical music, and they often incorporated elements of classical music into their progressive rock compositions.

During their early years, Triumvirat played in various German clubs and festivals, honing their sound and building a following. In 1972, they were signed to the German record label, Harvest, and released their debut album, 'Mediterranean Tales', which received critical acclaim from both fans and critics alike.

Over the next few years, Triumvirat released several more albums, including 'Illusions on a Double Dimple' in 1974, which was their most commercially successful album. The album reached the top 40 charts in both the United States and Canada, and featured the hit single, 'The Sweetest Sound of Liberty'.

In 1976, they released their fourth studio album, 'Old Loves Die Hard', which featured a more pop-oriented sound than their earlier albums. However, the album was not as well-received by critics or fans, and in 1978, Triumvirat released their final album, 'A La Carte'.

After the release of 'A La Carte', the band went on hiatus, and in 1980, Jürgen Fritz left the band to pursue a solo career. Although Triumvirat never achieved the same level of commercial success as their progressive rock contemporaries such as Yes or Genesis, they remain a highly respected and influential band in the genre. Their music has been described as complex, energetic and emotionally engaging, and their legacy continues to influence progressive rock musicians today.
