Lucie Tesnière

Lucie Silvas has come a long way since she stormed the charts in part of Europe with her singles ‘What You’re Made Of’ and ‘Breathe In’. After releasing two albums, the singer-songwriter realized she needed change and started travelling, ending up in Nashville. Silvas settled there and released her third album Letters To Ghosts independently back in 2015. Now, three years later, record number four is out and it is called E.G.O.. It is easily Lucie’s most versatile record to date.

Lucie Horsch celebrates the legacy of Dutch recorder player and conductor Frans Brüggen (1934-2014). A true pioneer of the early music revival, Brüggen amassed a remarkable collection of historic recorders dating from the 1680s-1740s. Those instruments fell silent upon his death 10 years ago. With special access granted by Brüggen’s widow, they have now been revived by one of Brüggen’s compatriots. The instruments are so fragile that at times Lucie was only allowed to play two takes on them - “The end result could almost be regarded as a live recording”.
