Award-winning Armenian pianist Lilit Grigoryan explores the art of the
variation in her new recording with Orchid Classics entitled Variations
Serieuses. In stunning interpretations combining both virtuosity and
integrity, Lilit Grigoryan takes the listener on a journey through this
art form, from Busoni’s breathtaking re-imagining of the majestic
Chaconne from J.S. Bach’s D minor violin Partita, to Beethoven’s 32
Variations, which range between extreme technical difficulty and
expressive moments of quiet simplicity, to Mendelssohn’s grand
Variations sérieuses. Alongside these giants of the repertoire are some
more rarely-heard gems: Bizet’s sinuous and innovative chromatic
variations, and youthful late-Romantic colour from Polish composer
Szymanowski.
Born in Yerevan, Armenia in 1985, Lilit Grigoryan started
to play piano at the age of seven at the Al. Spendiaryan Music School.
She was a student at the Komitas Yerevan State Conservatory before she
entered the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock in the class of
Prof. Matthias Kirschnereit in April 2014. She graduated in Rostock with
the highest distinction. From 2012 to 2016 Lilit Grigoryan was also
Artist in Residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Belgium.
