Luboš Fišer was a Czech composer and musician known for his diverse contributions to the canon of classical and film music. Born on September 30, 1935, in Prague, Fišer's musical talents were recognized from a young age. Throughout his career, he composed a vast array of works spanning orchestral compositions, chamber music, and scores for films and stage productions. His style was characterized by a modernist approach that nonetheless remained approachable and expressive.
Fišer's work earned him significant recognition, particularly in the realm of cinema with scores like "Valerie and Her Week of Wonders," a 1970 Czechoslovak film directed by Jaromil Jireš for which Fišer's hauntingly beautiful and avant-garde music won acclaim. This particular score became a cult classic and is celebrated for its ethereal and innovative qualities that complement the film's surrealist narrative. In addition to his film work, Fišer composed a wealth of concert music including his piano sonatas, which showcase his dynamic and imaginative approach to the keyboard. The release of "Fišer: Complete Piano Sonatas" allows listeners to fully appreciate the depth and breadth of his contributions to the realm of classical piano music. Sadly, the world lost this prolific artist on June 22, 1999, in Prague, but his work continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
