Martinů’s magical Fourth Piano Concerto („Incantation“) sparkled under the fingers of young Czech soloist Ivo Kahánek, while Britten's Sea Interludes and Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony lacked necessary depth. …In an auspicious Proms debut, Ivo Kahánek whipped up more of a storm as soloist in Martinů’s Fourth Piano Concerto, full of typical percussive brilliance and an astonishing stabbing solo part.
