Someone asked why Lili had to die so young. But she knew all along that she was not going to live very long. From age 16, she dedicated herself to becoming a professional composer and winning the Prix de Rome. And so she did, composing as much as she could in the little time she had.
Memento mori.
That’s sad 😔
So much beauty conveyed in only two and a half minutes. Such an amazing composer. If only she'd lived longer...
Combien d'atmosphère dans cette mélodie exquise....quel talent cette jeune compositrice ! Merci bcp pour ce don ....
You can't help but get chills
The beauty of this music is unusual, it takes my breath away
Strange. What a mind. Total melodic and harmonic control...
This is a dumb question asked in layman's spirit, but:
How do you arrive at that conclusion? What are you "seeing" or "recognising" in this piece of music to definitively conclude that it demonstrates such mastery (not the word you used, but in essence...) in the qualities you've mentioned?
I just hear nice music so far as my understanding allows.

L'impression de lire Alice Au Pays Des Merveilles /De L'autre Côté Du Miroir (Lewis Caroll) avec mes oreilles... Mêmes perceptions, mêmes compréhensions, encodages.. D'une grande et rare intelligence, chaque écoute est un état de plénitude sans cesse renouvelé !
According to google tranlate this is the translation (take with a huge grain of salt):
Reflections
Under the water of the rising dream My soul is afraid. And the moon shines in my heart immersed in the sources of dreams! Under the dull boredom of the reeds. Only the deep reflection of the things of lilies, palms and roses still weep at the bottom of the waters.
The flowers effeullent one by one, on the reflection of the firmament. For ashes eternally under the water of the dream and in the moon
"The flowers *effeullent* one by one" LMAO
Such distinctive writing, so much personality... beautiful. Thanks for posting!
Yes, her voice is really her own....
Magnifique !
So beautiful
❤c’est en effet un don unique de Tout donner à Notre oreille et au Cœur !
She composed some outstanding songs… such a pity she died so early :(
She was 18. Wow.
Maravilhosa!
Beautiful!
Beautiful
If there’s any composer who I feel could cross over into mass success with the gamer crowd, I have a feeling it’s Boulanger. Kinda wild how well her compositions like this one pair up with Dark Souls
Thanks!
Sehr raffiniert ❣️👍
Just wow
Incantevole
Ok, thats nice
this slaps

Why do many musical geniuses die so young?
Diseases
Jesus Christ, Lili, why did you die so young?
Crohn's Disease. Its the inflammation of the digestive tract. Very unfortunate and sad indeed.
Прелесть .
Magnifique oeuvre. Fommage que la chanteuse ne respecte pas assez les nuances...
A sa décharge, elle n'est sans doute pas très habituée à ce répertoire qui est quand même très particulier.
Personnellement, je me garde bien de critiquer les artistes car le chant lyrique est tellement exigent, et le milieu tellement impitoyable (à commencer par les auditeurs) que je n'ai plus le cœur à exiger quoi que ce soit d'un artiste lyrique tant qu'il charme ne serait-ce qu'un petit peu mes oreilles.
Are you discussing cheese (fromage) or pity (dommage)?
@@cyriel_g6110 oui....et ici je pense que ce n'est pas une professionnelle mais c'est honnête...ensuite, oui, c'est un répertoire en fait très exigeant et aucun grand nom du chant, il me semble n'a encore jamais offert quelle interprétation que ce soit de ce si beau répertoire des mélodies de Lili....nous devons remercier cette dame de nous offrir une tout de même jolie version....
Romance is pleasant to listen to performed by a girl. I personally wanted to sing this romance, and I hope that it will be released in my performance. I'm a pianist, but I also sing. If possible, you can watch my videos and comment on them :)
Love the piece, hate the singer. Nasal, not true mezzo. This song deserves much better recordings.
Agreed, I didn’t even know it was supposed to be a mezzo singing until I read the description. Shame. But at the least the music still comes through.
Pianist imo also doesn't accompany very well. I feel he/she doesn't give enough time allthough it's very beautiful playing
I was surprised at pianissimo at 2:05 I think a conductor wouldn't have hurt.
Magnifique !
so beautiful
