The international press has described Jan Bartoš as “one of the finest European pianists” and “an emotional and sophisticated interpreter.” He has appeared in solo recitals, with major orchestras and in chamber music concerts worldwide and enjoys a prolific recording career as an exclusive artist on the Supraphon label. His recordings have earned international critical praise from critics at Gramophone, Diapason, BBC Music Magazine, The Times, and The Guardian among other outlets. His most recent CD release is the first studio recording of Vítězslav Novák’s Piano Concerto with Jakub Hrůša and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra. The Guardian voted it Classical Album of the Week and The Sunday Times highlighted the release as ‘‘worth knowing in Hrůša and Bartoš’s idiomatic performances.’’ In 2019, Bartoš recorded solo piano works of Leoš Janáček. Gramophone selected it as Editor's Choice. The NPR (National Public Radio) included the recording in “10 Classical Albums To Usher In The Next Decade.” On Alfred Brendel's invitation, Bartoš appears as a solo performer on the 2021 Supraphon DVD My Musical Life that celebrates the piano legend on the occasion of his 90th birthday. Mr. Brendel endorsed his playing with the following: “Jan Bartoš is one of my most impressive and exciting young colleagues. In him, virtuosity is coupled with deeply serious musicianship.'' His teachers include Ivan Moravec, Alfred Brendel, Leon Fleisher, James Tocco, Zenon Fishbein, and Martin Ballý.
