“Some charming playing here from California-born, Paris-based harpsichordist Lillian Gordis, and what’s perhaps even more special is how much it leaves one thinking. There’s a generous amount of chew and elasticity to the Partita No 1 in B flat that opens the first disc. Take the Allemande: Gordis plays with so much agogic sway that it’s as if the music has a wriggling life of its own. I particularly enjoy the care with which Gordis touches the low Gs in bars 28 and 29 – the non-alignment of these first beats is extremely sexy – and the harpsichord practically purrs in majesty.”
