Biography

Luboš Fišer (born on September 30th 1935, died on June 22nd 1999 in Prague), studied composition with Emil Hlobil both at the Prague Conservatory (1952-56) and at the Academy of Performing Arts (graduated 1960). His graduation work, the one-act opera Lancelot, has already featured the substance of his musical expression - it is based on a melody supporting themes, formulated often in a very lapidary way which is then developed with complex and non-traditional way of compositional thinking. The effect of his music is both simple and complex at the same time as though to be chiselled from stone. He started off from the post-romantic music tradition (two symphonies, Suite for orchestra, Sonnets to texts by Michelangelo, and other works composed at the end of the fifties), and his own opinion and style prevails in the early sixties. Key works of that period are Fifteen Prints after Durer’s Apocalypse and choral Caprichos, inspired by Goya’s cycle of paintings. These compositions had considerable international response. The Fifteen Prints won the first prize in a UNESCO international composer’s tribune held in Paris in 1967. Both these works have a tendency towards new expressional and compositional means, in particular the use of the relaxed structure of aleatoric technique. Although that method accentuates sonic component of musical structure, Fišer maintains his own approach. The key melodic theme, its repetition and transformation, continues to be the backbone of his works.

    Into the most non-descriptive beauty of magical realm: Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Though it's been more than a year since I last watched the movie (and still don't get it), fragments from the movies are vividly constructing themselves in my mind as I listen to Fišer's intricate genius masterpieces. Sigh...
