Agon Orchestra & Ivan M Jirous - Magorova Summa
Review by Skolastika Lupitawina
Magorova Summa by Agon Orchestra & Ivan M Jirous is a stunning album that showcases the immense talent of these musicians. The album features a unique blend of experimental, avant-garde, and classical music, resulting in a truly mesmerizing listening experience.
The tracklist is diverse and ranges from the hauntingly beautiful "Magorova Summa" to the frenzied "Zkouška Křídel." Each track is expertly crafted, with intricate instrumentation and complex arrangements that keep the listener engaged from start to finish.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Královna," which features a beautiful vocal performance by Jana Vébrová. The song is both haunting and ethereal, with a haunting melody that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.

Barcode: 8 594156 570675About Agon Orchestra & Ivan M Jirous
The Agon Orchestra (originally the Agon Ensemble) started in the 1980s
as a platform for the up-and-coming generation of composers. In semi-official
conditions, it presented pieces by P. Kofroň, M. Smolka, M. Pudlák and
composers from abroad J. Cage, M. Feldman, A. Pärt, S. Reich, G. Scelsi or
K. Stockhausen. After 1989, their concert activity developed on stages both at
home and abroad, Petr Kofroň became the conductor and Martin Smolka the
artistic director. At this time, Arta Records and Audio Ego published a series of
critically acclaimed CDs. The period culminated in a portrait disc of M. Smolka.
After his departure (1998), Petr Kofroň (artistic director and conductor) and Ivan
Bierhanzl (dramaturgy and production) became the leading figures. This time
also saw a confluence with New York based composers (E. Sharp, J. Zorn,
D. Lang, M. Gordon). The orchestra presented several operas by P. Glass (Fall of the House of Usher, Prague State Opera, 1999, La Belle et la Bête,
National Theatre, 2003, and In the Penal Colony, Archa Theatre, 2005). A major
inspiration for the orchestra was music from the underground rock scene.
There were new versions of songs by F. Topol, M. Hlavsa, the group DG 307
and settings of poems by I. M. Jirous. At the 2012 Prague Spring, the Agon
Orchestra played a programme of I. Acher, J. Cage, B. Eno, P. Kofroň, M. Nejtek
and F. Zappa. Typornamento is an album of realisations of graphic scores by
M. Adamčiak. In 2015, Czech Radio broadcast a six-part series, Agon Orchestra
30 Years.
