Lili Boulanger: Clairières dans le ciel; Les sirènes; Renouveau

Peter Johnson, Lili Boulanger, ...

Hyperion UK, 2004

A beautiful recording of magnificent music
This CD consists of much of Lili Boulanger's secular music for voice(s), both solo vocal and choral. It was my introduction to the glorious song cycle Clairieres dans le ciel. I now own two other fine recordings of it, but this one remains my favorite for Martyn Hill's ...

Chamber Works by Women Composers

Amy Marcy Cheney Beach, Lili Boulanger, ...

Vox (Classical), 1992

A break-through Vox Box
This was a break-through box set when first released in the Seventies, & it's still an excellent collection. The Talleferre & Schumann compositions are wonderful. Beach was a genius trapped in the Teutonic Boston Brahma tastes of her era; but she was, in my modest ...

Igor Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms/Lili Boulanger: Du fond de l'abime;Psalms 24 & 129; Vieille Priere ...

Lili Boulanger, Igor Stravinsky, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

a revelation
Reviews I've seen of this CD have praised the Stravinsky performance and rightly so, since it's a clean, punchy, and insightful reading of one of Stravinsky's most important choral works. But it's the Boulanger pieces on this disc that really grabbed me. Why had I not ...

John Carol Case, Lili Boulanger, ...

BBC Legends, 1999

such a pity that nobody reviews this
I'm reviewing this disc because just now I suddenly felt urged to listen to it, especially compositions by Lili Boulanger. I'll not say much about her, because she has remained a mystery to me, a mystery that I wish not to unearth. I just prefer looking at her through ...

Boulanger: Faust et Hélène, etc.

Jason Howard, Lili Boulanger, ...

Chandos, 1999

An Award Winning Recording of Lili Boulanger's Music
It may be an overused word today but Lili Boulanger was a genius. She showed a remarkable ability to lean music theory and began auditing classes at the Paris Conservatoire at the age of 5. Lili won the coveted Prix de Rome at the age of 19 with Faust et Helene, a ...

Nocturne

This is a wonderful collection of Galway at his finest. I would encourage you to enjoy and listen to one of our finest flautists of the present era.A wonderful collection including Chopin, Debussy.

RCA, 2000

Wonderful!
This is a great CD. If you're a James Galway fan, this is a must have. He is, after all, THE GREATEST flutist in the world today. The CD is filled with some of the most beautiful (and relaxing) music ever written. Buy it. You will love it.

Lili Boulanger: The Songs

Lili Boulanger, Sonia de Beaufort, ...

Timpani, 1999

Boulanger Songs get excllent performance
If you are a fan of the works of this wonderful French female composer cut down by TB well before she had achieved what might have been her finest work, you will welcome this excellent recital of her songs. She was the first woman to win the Prix de Rome and studied ...

Sherry Kloss Plays Forgotten Gems

Joseph Achron, Alfredo d' Ambrosio, ...

Protone, 1997

touching, soulful, moving, gorgeous intonation
sherry has the sound of Heifetz. While listening to this CD, I had chills up and down my spine. I had to listen to it again. It is rare these days to find an artist who has a uniquely identifiable sound---not just another great talent. She is a keeper.

Women's Voices: Five Centuries of Song

Neva Pilgrim, Edward Smith, ...

Leonarda Productions, 1997

below average voice and interpretation; admirable program
Pilgrim's voice is without expression or feeling, and unfortunately, is with excessive and unstable vibrato. The selections are wide-ranged and interesting. The program has great potential as a comprehensive resource, but it's vocal performance lacks talent, ...
