"Emil Viklický is a gifted keyboard magician, who exudes a magic of unsentimental melodiousness from the first touch to the last full chord and draws the listener deep into his world of sound, is due in particular to the unique musical language he has developed. It combines the richness of Moravian folklore with the blue notes of jazz."
Detlef A. Ott, Leipzig, May 27th, 2025

Emil 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.

Moving 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. 2017
An 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

"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

Together Again is an enchanting recording of subtle charms and a fine addition to ACT's growing Duo Art series. Doubtless it will serve as a tardy introduction to Emil Viklický one of Europe's most significant and yet unheralded jazz pianists/composers. Ian Patterson, March 21, 2014 http://www.allaboutjazz.com
