Karol Samuelčík - Impressions from Slovakia

Album of prominent Slovak guitarist brings together four distinctive voices of contemporarySlovak composition: Marián Budoš, Jevgenij Iršai, Ľuboš Bernáth, and Pavol Malovec. Theirworks arise from diverse sources—personal memory, artistic impulse, and spiritual reflectionoften shaped in close collaboration with the performer. Each composer offers a unique poeticworld: from introspective modernist gestures and modal thinking, through vivid coloristicimagination, to meditative stillness and an exploration of silence. Together, they form a layeredand compelling portrait of Slovak guitar music today. This recording stands as a testament to the vitality, depth, and expressive richness of Slovak music today.
