Lili Boulanger: The Songs
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Lili Boulanger, who died in 1918 at age 24, was a great composer, and her few works are precious. Clearings in the Sky is a song cycle depicting with amazing insight a young man's sorrow at a failed love affair. Its beautiful melodies are supported by an adventurous harmonic background. Jean-Paul Fouchécourt has the perfect light French tenor and just the right expression for this moving music. The three little piano pieces are lovely miniatures, and as for the four songs, they may never have been recorded before. Beaufort sounds slightly plummy and querulous, but only slightly. Alain Jacquon plays magnificently throughout. With complete texts and translations, this disc is a treasure. --Leslie Gerber

Fantastic Fournier.......2004-02-16
On this 4CD EMI Import, the great cellist Pierre Fournier performs a variety of orchestral and chamber recordings, recorded primarily in mono from the 1940s and early 50s. There are three orchestral works -- Haydn's 2nd Concerto (Kubelik/Philharmonia, 1951), Schumann's Concerto (Sargent/Philharmonia, 1956 in stereo), and Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations (Bigot/Lamoureux, 1941). Disc two, and half of disc three, contain Beethoven Cello Sonatas with the great Artur Schnabel, while the fourth disc features a variety of pieces, from Bach and Boccherini to Debussy and Ravel, with pianist Gerald Moore. I'm withholding a fifth star because the collection contains mostly historical recordings, though it certainly captures one of history's greatest cellists in his prime. With that being said, "Les Introuvables de Pierre Fournier" is a must buy for cello entusiasts.

Sexy cover.......2000-12-15
The title of this cd says "Sacred Songs" but I bought is as a Christmas cd and also for the cover. A lot of the selections I've never heard before on a Christmas cd but nonetheless are beautiful and are a nice change of pace from the regular classical Christmas standards except for Boulanger's "Pie Jesu". As beatiful as it sounds, it could be mistaken for Halloween music. Haunting!
Beautiful album........1998-11-27
This album is a "must-have" for those who like really beautiful sacred music.
Incredible!.......1998-10-11
This is one of the most beautiful recordings imaginable. Alagna's interpretation of these spirituals is a must listen for anyone--religious or not. This is excellence from beginning to end.

Customer Reviews:
below average voice and interpretation; admirable program.......1999-09-29
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, technique, and interpretation.

Customer Reviews:
Ahhh Patrice!.......2001-05-07
I bought this album (I'm amused to say) not on Amazon, for I had no idea til just now that it was even available here (!), but at a funky music store at the MusicMart in Chicago (Patrice's native haunt, by the way, where people seem to appreciate her worth and talent). What a lovely voice! In a world where opera has its mainstream stars (think Three Tenors and Sarah Brightman, and little Ms. Church), how refreshing it is to hear a voice as pure as it is radiant. Truly a performing artist, she is no doubt best experienced live, but if she is better live than on this cd, she must be pretty darn impressive, don't you think? A supporter and promoter of more obscure yet very worthwhile vocal literature, Michaels here performs her seemingly trademark Lully and Argento, as well as many other wonderful pieces. I especially (as a vocalist) recommend the Argento-his cycles are lovely (most notably the composer-letter cycles, unfortunately but understandably not present here-she can't do it all!). I have seen Patrice in performance, in action at workshops, and love her recordings. I recommend this highly!

Album Description
Lili Boulanger (1893-1918), younger sister of the more famous Nadia Boulanger, was a brilliant and precocious French composer who dazzled the world of European music at the beginning of the 20th century. At age 19, Lili Boulanger became the first woman to win France's Prix de Rome. In her short career, Boulanger advanced the impressionism of her era, finding her own voice in music that's expressive and luminous, moving and enchanting. Debussy descriptively described her music as "undulating with grace." To place Boulanger's music in context, the CD offers songs by prominent French composers who had a connection to her music. Clairières dans le ciel, Boulanger's 1914 cycle of 13 songs based on poems by Francis Jammes, shows her talent for bringing poetry to life: Through sophisticated harmonic language, mood-evoking chromatics, and her careful choice and use of keys, her music reflects and enhances her chosen texts. Boulanger's four other songs on the recording represent slightly different periods in her seven-year career. Reflets (Reflections) is from 1911 and bears some affinity to Fauré. In Attente (Expectation) and Le retour (The Return), both from 1912, her harmonic language is already more complex and chromatic, enhancing her warm, lyric writing. In contrast, Dans l'immense tristesse (In an Infinite Sadness, 1916), in B-flat minor, conveys the anguish of the lyrics through dark sonorities and dissonant harmonies. Fauré, represented by three songs on the CD, was a Boulanger family friend and an important influence on Lili Boulanger. She never met Debussy, but they knew each other's music (as evidenced by Debussy's glowing comment.) Ravel met Lili Boulanger in Fauré's classes at the Paris Conservatoire, and his aesthetic can be heard in her skillful, colorful writing for piano, as well as for orchestra. Honegger and Messiaen postdate Boulanger in their musical output, but they had meaningful connections to her, and their music suggests possible directions hers might have taken, had she lived longer.

Ms. Michaels describes Clairières as "a major work in the vocal literature, comparable to the other cycles everyone knows. In this genre, I would rank her with Schubert." Ms. Michaels says that preparing the piece was "a huge undertaking" because of its length, technical demands on the singer, ensemble challenges, and extremes of dynamic range and pitch. Ms. Michaels and pianist Rebecca Rollins rehearsed and performed the cycle for two years before recording it. "The music always more than repaid our efforts," Ms. Michaels says.
