“Lada Valešovà’s first disc for Avie (review) records music from her Czech homeland. Intimate Studies was critically acclaimed and caused the following comment from The Daily Telegraph ‘In this entirely imaginatively planned recital, Valešovà plays with heart-warming sensibility and tonal refinement’. If I could find other words that were equally appropriate to describe this disc then I would but they sum up the feelings I have so perfectly I’ll just say ‘ditto’. There are plenty of other piano works from the lands that are covered on this disc. On the strength of it I look forward to Valešovà exploring more of those rich veins.”
