PIANIST
JAN BARTOŠ
The Czech pianist Jan Bartoš studied with Ivan Moravec, as well as with Alfred Brendel and Leon Fleisher. Alfred Brendel described him as "one of his most impressive and exciting young colleagues." His recordings for Supraphon include Mozart's Piano Concertos with Jiri Belohlavek and Czech Philharmonic, piano music of Beethoven and Janáček, and Novák's Piano Concerto with Jakub Hrusa, have earned international critical praise from critics (Gramophone, Diapason, BBC Music Magazine, The Times). His most recent CD, released in 2023, including piano music of Miloslav Kabelac and Bedrich Smetana, received a 5-star review from the BBC Music Magazine: "This is one of the best and certainly most stimulating recordings of Czech piano music of recent years."
