Acclaim
Award-winning harpsichordist Lillian Gordis charts new territory with her unusual and absorbing narrative recital. Lillian juxtaposes selected Préludes and Fugues from J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II, with works by premier 17th century English composers William Byrd, John Bull, and William Tisdall. Join her on this glorious, illuminating journey through musical worlds of tonality and color.
Classics Today – Jed Distler: Of Lillian Gordis’ recording ‘Bach’ – ‘I’ve rarely heard a harpsichord recording with such presence and bloom, resonant warmth, soaring bass lines, and timbral richness’.
Gramophone – Mark Seow: ‘…the non-alignment of these first beats (played by Lillian Gordis) is extremely sexy – and the harpsichord practically purrs in majesty.’
Washington Classical Review – Charles Downey: ‘…a diverting variety of touch and rhythmic pacing…’
France Musique – Corinne Schneider: ‘ Lillian Gordis allows time for all aspects of the music to be heard, for us to appreciate her beautiful sound and delight in her touch…’
