A champion of the music of Israel's leading composer Paul Ben-Haim (1897-1984) in the past decade, as a performer and recording artist, Gila has recorded two volumes of his works on the Centaur label Piano Works by Paul Ben-Haim (released in June 2001) and Ben-Haim, 2nd Volume: Piano and Chamber Works (released in November 2005). These recordings received rave reviews in major publications worldwide. They mark a significant addition to the few commercial releases of Israeli classical music and therefore meaningful for the understanding of this genre and for increasing its international recognition. These are also an important contribution to the discography of 20th century piano and chamber music literature in general.
