Chamber Concert With Music By Vladimír Godár
Vladimír Godár belongs to groundbreakers and significant representatives of the Slovak music postmodern. In his Ricercar, Talisman, as well as in Déploration_… he discusses with the musical past, especially in the form of allusions, musical quotations, referring to the music from the time of Renaissance up to the present day. Polystylistics resulting from this compositional technique comes hand in hand with the multiple meaning of the musical work. In the head of the score of Talisman which has become an iconic piece of music in the course of time, we can find a motto: “_Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved; and it is to this world that he returns, incessantly, though he may pass through and seem to inhabit a world quite foreign to it.” (François-René de Chateaubriand)
