Lili Boulanger - Hymne au Soleil - Choral Works
Orpheus Vokalensemble, Michael Alber
Antonii Baryshevskyi, pianoforte
via Qobuz
This year is the 100th birthday of this composer's death.
Only 24 years old she was, she had a very fragile health and was aware of the fact that she would die young.
Luckily she left us some gorgeous works.
I really enjoyed this album.
“We wish to hear more works by her.” These words were once spoken by Marc Blitzstein, the American composer and student of Nadia Boulanger, in connection with Lili Boulanger’s unfulfilled future promise. “We want to know what we are missing.” A very understandable wish; one, however, that cannot be fulfilled.
