Ivan Klánský piano
Stereo digital studio recording.
Bolzano, Barcelona, Leipzig, Warsaw, Naples, Fort Worth, Santander - in all these cities' international competitions did Ivan Klánský win one of the major prizes. A prodigious young talent, he was then (1967-1976) a student at the Prague Conservatoire and later a pupil of Valentina Kameníková and František Rauch at the Prague Academy. Ivan Klánský (b. 1948) is one of the leading pianists of his generation. Renowned for his interpretative insight, he has enjoyed a remarkable international career both as a soloist and as a member of the outstanding Guarneri Trio of Prague. As a soloist of the Czech Philharmonic he has visited all the major music centres of the world. The number of his public performances has recently reached 5000, an estimable count indeed. His wide repertoire encompasses all the major works of the piano literature. As a finalist of the Chopin Competition he has been considered a Chopin specialist, and it is true that that Romantic master's music is particularly close to him, as can be evidenced from this recording; he is, however, no less dedicated to the performance of other great composers and especially of his two compatriots, Bedřich Smetana and Leoš Janáček whose complete piano works he has committed to disc. Ivan Klánský regularly sits on juries of major international piano competitions and has an outstanding teaching career as professor of keyboard instruments at the Prague Academy of Music.
