To this day, however, extreme\r\ntechnical difficulty hinders the more frequent performing of these works.\r\nThe playing of the young piano virtuoso Tomas Vrana, joined on the recording\r\nby the Janacek Philharmonic Ostrava and the Hungarian conductor Gabor\r\nKali, definitely goes well beyond mere technical mastery in the works. His\r\ndebut received high praise from Jean-Efflam Bavouzet: \"Apart from it being\r\nquite rare to see a pianist so dedicated to such difficult pieces, it is even\r\nless common to see a young musician mastering them with such musical\r\nintelligence and deep knowledge of the orchestra score coupled with\r\na great sense of rhythm and a masterful technique!\" Tomas Vrana also\r\nexhibited similar sensitivity and mastery in his use of language - he\r\naccompanied his recording with an interesting text for the CD booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46444907561181,"sku":"099925436025","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4420831-3383047.jpg?v=1747850451","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/tomas-vrana-bartok-the-complete-piano-concertos","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
