Libor Novacek has gained an international reputation for his interpretations of the works of Brahms and Liszt, which despite his young age have already been compared to those of the great masters such as Kempff and Arrau and said to possess 'exceptional poetic verve and inwardness'. His popularity grew greatly upon winning the Landor Records 2005 Competition, whereupon he established a long-term recording contract with Landor and proceeded to release two CDs in 2006 to outstanding reviews. Libor's latest CD, released in September 2008 and featuring works by Brahms continues to gather exultant reviews, including 5 stars and Instrumental Choice in BBC Music Magazine. He is scheduled to record a new CD of works by Liszt, due to be released in 2009.
