Ján Cikker - Variations on a Slovak theme

Jordana Palovičová - Piano

Ján Cikker (1911-1989) was a Slovak Composer. Cikker studied at the Prague Conservatory from 1930 to 1935, where he attended courses of composition of Jaroslav Křička, of conducting and organ. He then studied at the Master's School of the Prague Conservatory from 1935 to 1936, where he was a student of Vítězslav Novák. Later on, he moved to Vienna, where he studied with Felix Weingartner from 1936-1937. From 1939 to 1949, he taught at the Bratislava Conservatory. At the same time he was a repertory advisor of the opera of the Slovak National Theatre from 1945 to 1948. He was forced to leave this post after the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1948. He settled in Bratislava.
His pronounced style is characterized by a typical richness of contrasting moods and characters (dance, expressive, lyrical pronunciation). His first creative works were nearly always instrumental, but from the 1950s onward he increasingly devoted himself to composing operas. There is no copyright infringement intended.
