Info zu Origins

“The idea for this album came about some years ago when I attended a performance of Haydn’s Piano Concerto No.11 in D. While reading the programme notes, I was struck by the suggestion that the concerto’s finale, Rondo all’ungarese, despite its title, was thought to be based on a Croatian or Bosnian folk melody. This got me very excited, due to my heritage: I was born in Sarajevo, a small city that is a melting-pot of cultures, nationalities, architecture, arts, history and humour. The region’s culture is incredibly rich and diverse, and I am always keen to celebrate this.” - Ivana Gavric

Haydn’s famous ‘Hungarian rondo’ finale to his piano concerto in D may not be Hungarian but from another part of the Habsburg empire - might its origins be Bosnian or Croatian? This concerto, together with solo piano works in homage to Haydn by leading French composers, frame the world premier recording of Cheryl Francis Hoad’s piano concerto, which takes the traditional Bosnian folk song Kad ja pođjoh na Bentbaša, Bosnian folk tales and the Haydn as its inspiration.

This album bridges the folk songs of Ivana’s childhood to the music of her professional life and reflects her varied heritage.

Ivana Gavrić
British pianist Ivana Gavrić has attracted considerable praise for her interpretations of Janáček, Liszt, Schubert, and more recently Grieg. Following her US solo debut, the Washington Post described Ivana’s playing as ‘impressive, insightful… a ravishing performance’. Last year, Ivana performed Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. She has also been heard on concert platforms at The Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, Berlin Konzerthaus, KKL Lucerne, Gilmore Festival Rising Star Series, as well as across China, in Canada and Japan. As a concerto soloist, she has performed with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Aurora Orchestra and Southbank Sinfonia. She has collaborated with conductors including Rafael Payare, Nicholas Collon, Christian Kluxen, Karin Hendrickson and Ben Gernon. She especially enjoys working with chamber orchestras and one of her highlights to date has been performing with the Trondheim Soloists.

She created a sensation with her debut disc In the mists, winning BBC Music Magazine Newcomer of the Year for ‘playing of an altogether extraordinary calibre’. Her recording of Grieg was selected as Gramophone Editor’s Choice and the Grieg Society’s Recording of the Year. Her recent disc Chopin was Classic FM’s CD of the week, and described by Gramophone as ‘stylish readings.’ Over the last decade Ivana has worked closely with composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad, and her new concerto Between the Skies, the River and the Hills, written for Ivana, will be released on CD in September on Rubicon Classics.

Also a dedicated chamber musician, Ivana performed with violinist Maxim Vengerov as part of Live Music Now, the outreach scheme established by the late Lord Menuhin. She has partnered colleagues on the concert platform in festivals in the UK and Europe, taken part in the IMS Prussia Cove Open Chamber Music Sessions and is an alumna of the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme. Outside the concert hall she is featured playing Chopin and Beethoven in BBC2’s adaptation of The Line of Beauty, and Bach in Anthony Minghella’s film Breaking and Entering.

Born into a musical family in Sarajevo, and raised in the UK, Ivana studied at the University of Cambridge and at the Royal College of Music. Her teachers include Niel Immelman, Peter Bithell and James Gibb. Additionally, Ivana has had the opportunity to study with esteemed musicians such as Menahem Pressler, Ferenc Rados, Dmitry Bashkirov, Boris Berman, Stephen Kovacevich and Leif Ove Andsnes. Ivana is indebted to the support of many trusts, including the Frankopan Fund (Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts), the MBF, The Solti Foundation, The Nicholas Boas Trust, The Richard Carne Trust and the RVW Trust. Ivana is proud to be an Ambassador for the charity ‘Music Action International’.
