A rising star in the harpsichord world, Lillian Gordis has recorded her first solo album of sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti at just 26. At the age of 16, this American-born musician settled in France, where she undertook several years of apprenticeship and mentoring with Pierre Hantaï, Bertrand Cuiller, and Skip Sempé. Now a four-time laureate of the Fondation Royaumont and supported by the Fondation d’entreprise Safran, she performs widely as a soloist and in a duo with the gamba player Jérôme Hantaï. This idiosyncratic harpsichordist, the product of an unorthodox musical background that emphasized both artisanal rigor and artistic liberty, reveals the music of Domenico Scarlatti to be a world as bizarre and fantastical as it is virtuosic and sensitive, a universe which has accompanied her since her childhood.Zones, a new recording that premieres a rare harpsichord crafted by Philippe Humeau, is the culmination of Gordis’s musical search for color and sound production. This young artist harnesses her technical prowess in this iconic repertoire to redefine the sonic limits of the harpsichord, from total sound saturation to daring silence. This début solo recording was produced by Aline Blondiau (sound and artistic direction) and is released on Paraty.
