Valerie Milot:

Revelation: Harp Recital

A talented and charismatic young artist; shimmering and mesmerizing sonorities; great works for harp by Ravel, Ginastera, Britten and Salzedo; a world premiere: Revelation, a new Analekta album featuring harpist Valerie Milot. Although the earliest harps we know about go back to Sumerian times, they were to remain rather unsophisticated until the 17th century, when Tyrolean instrument makers modified the tuning and added pedals, for modulation. This recital intends to illustrate the possibilities inherent in the instrument, its resonance, sonic volume and contrasts, as well as its particular effects.

Valerie Milot:

Trios for Violin, Cello & Harp

Analekta announces the release of the excellent album Trios for violin, cello and harp, an ambitious collaborative project featuring three accomplished young musicians recognized for their excellence: harpist Valérie Milot, violinist Antoine Bareil and cellist Stéphane Tétreault. Recorded at Église Saint-Augustin in Mirabel, Québec, during this past winter, the album highlights how well the musicians complement each other and the graceful blend of their instruments, first in the lively and ethereal trio by Jacques Ibert, and then, in strong contrast, in the trio composed by Henriette Renié – a composer known for the virtuosity of her works – in which the harp rises to the rank of solo instrument. The spirited Danse des Lutins for solo harp by the same composer, as well as the intense Passacaglia for violin and cello by Johan Halvorsen, inspired by Handel's Harpsichord Suite No. 7 in G minor, allow listeners to appreciate the musicality and immense talent of the three musicians, who are heard last of all playing the Schubert lied "Lob der Tränen" in a transcription of great delicacy.

Valerie Milot:

Orbis

The title of Valérie Milot's seventh CD is both a nod to the circle of valued musical colleagues she has worked with over the years and a reference to the loop as a musical concept, a seemingly simple melodic or rhythmical motif that serves as both framework and source of inspiration. The disc features six complementary approaches, from John Cage's ethereal In a Landscape to Frank Zappa's turbulent G-Spot Tornado, not to mention the premiere of Antoine Bareil's Castille 1382, written especially for Milot. The recording also marks her 30th birthday, which she celebrates here with some long-standing musical partners and dear friends.

Valerie Milot:

Handel - Boieldieu - Mozart

Accompanied by the talented ensemble Les Violons du Roy under Bernard Labadie's direction, young Quebec harpist Valérie Milot presents, on this new album, classics from the harp repertoire: HÄNDEL's Concerto in B flat major, BOIELDIEU's Concerto in C major and MOZART's Concerto for Flute, Harp and Orchestra in C major, K.299. It is with obvious artistic complicity that these talented Québec musicians present, on this album, a repertoire of great significance, and three important moments in the history of this fascinating musical instrument called the harp. Valérie Milot's very refined style is as impressive as her flawless technique and her powerful and colourful playing.
