With astonishing prescience (or luck) Bobbi Jo Hart started following aspiring pianist Marika Bournaki from the age of 12. She was already a prodigy, but over the course of a decade Hart was able capture her development as an artist (she has played Carnegie Hall several times) and as a person – as well as the toll her discipline took on her childhood and her family.
“A fascinating exercise… classical music abounds – Schumann, Rachmininoff, Bach – and it’s an aural delight.” 3 stars Rick Groen, Globe & Mail
