His concert activity abroad has been particularly rich (Germany, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Italy, Netherlands, Hungary, Vietnam, South Korea, USA, Argentina). He has appeared in several national and international festivals (Bratislava Music Festival 1994, 1995, 1998, 2000, Melos-Ethos 1995, 1997, New Slovak Music 1992, 1994, Carlsbad Young Podium 1992, Young Concert Artists’ Festival of Five Countries in Žilina 1991, Musica Nobilis Poprad 1996 and others). As a soloist he has performed with almost all Slovak and several foreign orchestras (Beethoven Halle Orchestra Bonn, Hyosung Taegu University Orchestra in South Korea).

Buranovský has also been in demand as a partner for instrumentalists and vocalists, especially in duos (Alexander Jablokov, Peter Michalica, Juraj Čižmarovič, Tibor Kováč; Dalibor Karvay, Polish cellist Lukáš Szyrner, vocalists Martin Babjak, Terézia Babjaková-Kružliaková, Miroslav Dvorský, Elena Holičková, Adriana Kohútková, Jozef Kundlák, Ľudovít Ludha, Hana Štolfová-Bandová, Silvia Sklovská, Ľubica Vargicová, Ivan Ožvát, Mikuláš Doboš and many others).

His solo repertory focuses predominantly on key romantic piano pieces and on 20th century music, including works of Slovak composers. He has, moreover, an exquisite knowledge of chamber (especially duos) instrumental music (violin, cello), piano trios, as well as songs, arias and last but not least, operetta and musicals.

"Buranovský is a prominent representative of his generation, with a penchant for dynamic contrasts in interpretation: alongside lyrical-meditative tones, he successfully conveys sonically intense and technically demanding dramatic passages. His artistic strategy aims for the deepest possible understanding of the composer's intent, and in this sense, his approach to the interpretation of individual works is constantly evolving."
