From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

One of the most mysterious characters in the history of progressive rock, virtuoso pianist and Austrian child prodigy who could only give the world an album with his majestic work.

Possessing a unique style and a wonderful ability to fuse seemingly unconnected elements, the mind of this Austrian bequeathed to the fans of Jazz and rock in opposition one of his most solid and memorable pieces.

I think I heard some unpublished pieces that, although they kept a certain structure, seemed to me to be mainly rehearsals or improvisations that still needed work.

Why didn't he release more music? I ask using the word "publish" because if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that Szobel will continue to create music until the end of his days (if he's still alive). Fascinating story but even more incredible and portentous is this album, a must in any progressive collection.
