IN THE PRESS

... "Now here's a truly unique musical world - dreamlike and expressionistic, not so much delicate as sensitive... "Regard" should absolutely be listened to from beginning to end - and in one go. Indeed, these compositions are remarkably sequenced (which isn't too frequent), coming together as a musical journey which resembles a sky filled with moving clouds. Colours, pulses, suspended time, echoes of other continents, children's voices, keep the ear in constant movement. Lydia's piano willingly steps aside behind the strength of her compositions... A daydream dappled with fury."
(Alex Duthil • Jazzman ****)

... "Lydia Domancich's unique musical approach on her first three albums had won us over, most strikingly her inspired use of sampling. This fourth production sees her venturing into a somewhat different direction, more intimist and more militant in intent. An album filled with pleasant surprises." (Bruno Heuzé • Keyboards)

... "The look ("regard") in the pianist's eyes is full of acuity and casts a certain irony at our world and its folly - which she seeks to escape with elegance... There is a lot of passion in this album which also provides us with the pleasure of hearing once again Stella Vander's unmistakable voice." (Michel Arcens • Midi libre)
