28.10. 2024Emil Viklický is a consummate pianist who blends the harmonic language of jazz with the soulful depth of Moravian folk music. Marked by nimble soloing and textural nuance, his performances and recordings have earned him recognition as one of Europe’s most expressive yet underappreciated pianists and composers.

Alain Drout /DOWN BEAT, August 2014/ 30.07. 2017Moving easily between classical and blues styles, Emil Viklicky explores interesting harmonic variations. This unique fusion of folk with jazz makes for very engaging program, one that manages to be both fresh yet familiar at the same time. John Adcock (Jazz Journal UK) 17.07. 2017An emotional depth rooted in Moravian folk music which has led to his being called 'the Janacek of Jazz'. Dynamic and textural subtlety lie at the heart of Viklicky's greatness, but his irresistible propulsiveness, improvisational fecundity and sheer energy are what immediately impress on this excellent album. Chris Parker´s review of "Kafka on the Shore"CD, Venus Records, Japan 12.12. 2016"One of the best contemporary pianists, Viklicky´s soloing and comping, his touch, voicings and intervals have a good deal in common with fleet, tasteful pianists like T.Flanagan, J.Rowles and B.Charlap". Doug Ramsey, JazzTimes 22.11. 2016The best price for my CD "Kafka on the Shore" is in: HMV Hongkong only USD 21,27 11.03. 2016"Emil Viklicky Trio has the same collective energy as Esbjorn Svenson Trio, though without electronics and rock input".
