Info for Mademoiselle: Première audience – Unknown Music of Nadia Boulanger

Delos has the tremendous honor of issuing the first-ever album devoted to the wonderful compositions of Nadia Boulanger: truly a release of great historical importance.

None dispute that Boulanger was by far the twentieth century’s most influential composition teacher. Yet “Mademoiselle,” as she has long been known in the music world, dismissed her own works as “useless,” with the result that they are almost completely unknown to the musical public today. But not anymore.

Music lovers everywhere can now hear Boulanger’s complete works, published and unpublished (including 13 world premieres), in the genres of the art song, solo piano, cello and piano, and organ, as performed by an all-star array of musicians. We at Delos are elated to share these 37 musical gems with you and are confident that you will in turn share our own amazement at the beauty and originality of Mademoiselle’s music.

“Nothing is better than music … it has done more for us than we have the right to hope for…” (Nadia Boulanger)

Nicole Cabell, soprano
Edwin Crossley-Mercer, baritone
François-Henri Houbart, organ
Lucy Mauro, piano
Amit Peled, cello
