They wrote about me

←

"I have long admired the musicianship of Jan Mráček, particularly his mastery of the violin, and my appreciation for his artistry only deepens with time. It is always a pleasure to hear him perform, whether as an inspired concertmaster or a natural leader in chamber music. However, his true and unrivaled domain undoubtedly lies in his virtuosic solo playing. In this realm, Jan Mráček has never once disappointed me. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to encounter him more frequently as a soloist in the future."

Jakub Hrůša, conductor

“With an accuracy of intonation and technical accomplishment that puts the listener in mind of people like Joshua Bell and Itzhak Perlman, Jan Mráček is probably capable of playing just about anything in the repertoire.”

Palm Beach Arts Paper

“This is an impressive talent.”

St. Louis Post Dispatch

“He is an immensely musical artist, and it is evident that music truly permeates him.”

Jan Sebastian Tomsa, KlasikaPlus.cz

“From the very first notes of his performance, it was clear that he has this work completely internalized. He played with evident enjoyment, impressing with dazzling technique, captivating with the singing quality of his violin tone and the emotional depth of his expression. Despite his unquestionable mastery, the artist remained attentive to the orchestra, frequently turning toward it during the performance to strengthen his personal connection with its players.”

Věroslav Němec, Klasikaplus.cz

“Jan Mráček has been intimately connected with this work since his early youth and understands it deeply. He conveyed it through a warmly lyrical, singing melodic line as well as in temperamentally vibrant, dance-like passages; his playing was technically flawless and intonationally crystal-clear, free of cheap sentimentality and outward exaggeration.”

Richard Hruban, Novinky.cz

“The sound of his violin is resonant and compelling, and throughout it shone beautifully over the full orchestra. His vibrato can be intensely urgent, yet at the same time tender and deeply expressive. He delivered the energetic passages with tremendous commitment, impeccable rhythmic precision and clarity, while the fairy-like pianissimos carried through the space of the Rudolfinum with delicacy and purity, filled with emotion and depth.”

Michal Rezek, Operaplus.cz, April 2026

“The fact that the soloist in Suk’s Fantasia is able to exploit the possibilities of his instrument in an idiomatic yet technically convincing manner is testament to his profound mastery of the instrument. Mráček allows the interpretation to flourish in an impressive rhythmic flow. This typically Czech, inspired rather than imitative idiom literally flows from his hands. He embraces the romantic character of the work, which comes across as masculine and deeply committed, without suppressing its emotional dimension."
