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.

    Posted At: September 1, 2017

    Harpist Valérie Milot is like a hummingbird, delighting you with each appearance, and before you know it, moving on to the next thing. Her new album, due out Sept. 22, is a case in point.

  • Valerie Milot provides fresh perspective with 'Orbis' / Musical Toronto
    Posted At: July 19, 2016

    It is not easy being a harp soloist; the repertoire is small with very few acknowledged masterpieces, and the cost of transporting the massive instrument around is pretty daunting. Although the harp is difficult to play and few are capable of mastering it, several Canadian soloists have risen to prominence, among them Judy Loman and Erica Goodman. Now we can add 31-year old Quebecker Valérie Milot...

    The title of Valérie Milot's new album 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. The disc features six complementary approaches, from John Cage's ethereal In a Landscape to Frank Zappa's turbulent G-Spot Tornado to the premiere of Antoine Bareil's Castille 1382, written especially for Milot.
