by Hieronymus Bosch "Doomsdag"

1. Eden
2. Temptation
3. Inferno

*Price: 10 €

In his music, that consists of three parts as well, Viktor Vlasov often uses methods of polystylistics.

The first part ("Paradise") can be seen in the unmistakable relation with impressionism. Intricate melodic, spicery of its harmonies, unstableness of mood, finery, delicacy - all of them depict the picture of the undisturbed paradise.

The second part ("Temptation") bears baroque features that, for the first time in music, in a fullest way exposed its possibilities of profound and multiaspected embodiment of the world of human spiritual reflections.

All the music within the third part ("Inferno") testifies inevitability of punishment. Resorting to most contemporary, vanguard musical means, such as sonorous sound, extra-musical complexes, clusters), the composer achieves infernal, destructive character of his music.

The author, a brilliant bayan player and expert, uses a great range of the whole arsenal of modern means of bayan playing. For example, to achieve the most powerful, all-embracing apocalyptic sound, he was the first in bayan playing to use the five-lined musical notation. This piece was firstly performed by a famous Ukrainian bayan player Pavlo Fenyuk.
