- Ivan Moravec, a pianist highly regarded throughout the world, was the only Czech artist named to a list of the 100 greatest pianists a few years ago. Although he celebrated his seventy fifth birthday in November of last year, he is still a fully active performer. - In the years 1989 and 1990 Ivan Moravec made recordings of the Brahms piano concertos which even today are sought out by those who recognize the artist's mastery of the piano. - Thoughtfully crafted details and phrasing, meticulous construction of individual parts as well as the whole, superior tone quality and admirable work with dynamics are all trademarks of Ivan Moravec's world-class artistry. - Moravec, a tireless perfectionist, invests a heaping portion of musicality into the performance
of each piece. - His recordings are among Supraphon's most precious treasures. Ivan Moravec - a legendary figure of the world's concert halls
