RINALDO OLÁH
He was born on January 13, 1929, in Zvolenská Slatina. A talented violin virtuoso and composer, nicknamed the Slovak Paganini. In 1949 he was a co-founder of the Slovak Folk Art Collective (SĽUK), where for a total of 32 years, until 1981, he worked as its concert master. He was not formally educated in music, except for a basic level and stipend-enabled several months long stay at the Prague Conservatory. Until then, his arrangements were unprecedented in Slovak folklore and therefore widely discussed. His playing was technically perfect, his way of playing and the tone both very specific. To this day, his compositions have not been re-interpreted in their original quality. In 2000 he received the Award of the Minister of Culture of the Slovak Republic. In his honor, a competition of lead violinist is organized in Zvolenská Slatina. He died on June 1, 2006 in Bratislava.
