Livia Mazzanti was born in Rome, where she studied piano (obtaining a diploma in 1980), organ and composition for organ with highest honours (1985). She moved to Paris where in 1988 she won a French Government Grant. Her career as an organist began at the Basilica Ss Cosma and Damiano, and then at the Church of S. Maria Maddalena in Rome.
For this album, dedicated to 20th century organ music, Livia Mazzanti chose to play on an instrument of contemporary significance: the Kleuker organ designed by Jean Guillou for the Church of Notre Dame des Neiges at l'Alpe d'Huez (France). In this album Livia Mazzanti plays the Variations on a recitative op. 40 / Arnold Schoenberg (1941), L'Ascension - Quatre Méditations Symphoniques / Olivier Messiaen (1933), Sonata I Paul Hindemith (1937) and In nomine Lucis / Giacinto Scelsi (1974)
The album was recorded by Giulio Cesare Ricci at the Church of Notre Dame des Neiges, Alpe d'Huez in France in November 1991.
For this recording Giulio Cesare Ricci used tube microphones, the Neumann U47 and M49 and the NAGRA recorder. The analog master was transferred from NAGRA 4s directly to DSD.
