A wonderful introduction to Lili Boulanger's unique and powerful art.

We Say...
Lili Boulanger, the younger sister of one of the greatest composition teachers of the last century, Nadia Boulanger, died at the tragically early age of 24. Hers was a prodigious talent that embraced a quite extraordinarily original musical vision. Almost as if she were aware of what Fate had in store for her, many of her songs and choral works take loss and mourning as their theme. This collection, featuring the BBC Philharmonic and Yan Pascal Tortelier, is a wonderful introduction to her unique and surprisingly powerful art. My own first encounter with Lili Boulanger's music was her setting of Psalm 130, "Du fond de l'abîme," for mezzo, tenor, choir, organ and orchestra — it's a remarkable achievement and sounds nothing like any other composer's work. Equally fascinating is Faust et Hélène, a dramatic cantata that won her the Prix de Rome — she was first women to win that coveted bursary. The orchestral works are also deeply rewarding.
