Mid-2010 marks a double debut for Sarajevo-born 'In The Mists' pianist, Ivana Gavrić - her first solo recital at the Wigmore Hall and her first CD.

Moving to London in 1992 at the start of the Bosnian War, Ivana, the daughter of a pianist and then aged 12, studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Cambridge University, and the Royal College of Music.

About her, Musical Opinion recently wrote: ʻOutstandingly successful in every regard… flawless performance... a young artist who is destined for the highest rank.ʼ

This new CD, recorded in the Music Room at Champs Hill (from where the label takes its name), takes its title from the featured Janáček work.

About the programme, Ivana says: "The Schubert is a core around which I have constructed the programme - I have always felt comfortable playing works of Classical construction, and the A minor Sonata (D784) opens with a Slavic tint which, to me, foretells Mussorgsky. I find it important to create a journey for both the audience, and myself, that shows all the aspects of my musical personality; the introspective and haunting images in Janáčekʼs ʻIn the Mistsʼ conveys this, while the Rachmaninov pieces add passion and lyricism.”

Also featured on this CD, are Lisztʼs stunningly melodic Petrarch Sonnets, bringing the playing time to just over 73 minutes.
