Their interpretations of concertos by the great Czech composers Antonín Dvořák and Bohuslav Martinů were described as “exhilarating” and “up there with the greatest”, with the 40–year–old pianist praised for “a clear-textured performance of rare delicacy”. I asked Mr Kahánek how he felt after receiving the prize. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/dvorak_martinu_hrusa_kahanek.jpg?timestamp=1590327357 “I always try to tell stories with the piano” – Ivo Kahánek and Bamberg Orchestra receive BBC Music Magazine’s annual Concerto Award https://english.radio.cz/i-always-try-tell-stories-piano-ivo-kahanek-and-bamberg-orchestra-receive-bbc-8100506 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
