He constantly enriches his wide-ranging repertoire by seeking new impetus which enabled him to design programs as from the famous works of world music as from unjustly overlooked composers and compositions always with great response of public (for example – his recital at the festival Musica Iudaica 1997 or the concert project Classic Piano Joke(r)s in 1999) ...
Reviews
The Czech pianist was the greatest surprise at the competition. Tomas Visek from Prague gave an excellent performance with the amazing sound, which was the reason for the jury to call him a "man-orchestra". Unique musician and extraordinary personality, something as special as his way of playing is neither possible to teach or learn...

„Víšek is an explosive type of an artist who is always fully absorbed in the play. It is almost with an obsession and devilish attitude he is enjoying every twist turn in the plot of the play with the unique touch he moves it into convincing levels with deep absorption. He is unveiling various secrets of the manuscript and the audience was proved to keep them in suspense for a long duration."

„I was very happy to see that the first late night concert will be a piano recital given by the great Czech pianist Tomáš Víšek.(…) I have always beeh fascinated by its artist´s lightness and deep knowledge ever present in his interpretation. This man does not simply follow the notes on the paper but plays music, he is creating it. He is above all those „well projected notes“ and „classicaly clean touch“ or on the other hand „romantic singing notes“ concerns; his brilliant technique is the base above which Víšek virtually floats. And he is supreme. He is of such a class that in spheres which for many others would be unreachable he meets the intention of the composer, and through his fingers transfers it into the hall where people sit and listen. And they are all engrossed by the music that is unfolding for them, like the arms of a beloved person opening to embrace. I think that somewhere here real undestanding of the music and its content happens. He who looks for the correct touch, tempo, dynamic shading between second and third semiquaver still sits on the ground and never takes off, because he never turns his head upwards to the skies from where the music comes as it does through the hands of T. V., who creates pictures of breathtaking beauty.“
