Performance***** Sound*****

Jan Bartoš’s playing of the preludes is magnificent, both in projecting the mesmerizing impetus of the opening and closing numbers and in realizing the delicately reimagined Impressionism... Bartoš is an ideal interpreter here, providing abundant brilliance without sacrificing poetry... Beautifully recorded, this is one of the best and certainly most stimulating recordings of Czech piano music of recent years.

Professor Jan Smaczny, March 2023
