  • Written in the final year of her life, Lili Boulanger's "D'un matin de printemps" is a masterful tone poem conveying the pleasure and promise of a spring morning. Boulanger was the first woman to win the Prix de Rome for composition in 1913, but her career was tragically cut short when she passed away at age 24.
    Cristian Măcelaru, conductor
    Seattle Symphony

    Every time I hear Lili Boulanger, I get so upset about how the world was robbed of what she had ahead of her. An amazing voice lost too soon.

      I feel the same way - and similarly about Clifford Brown.

      @@grahamlyons8522 Right on Graham...tragic loss. How many times have I listened to "I Remember Clifford" by many players..the other terrific loss was Bass player Scott LaFaro, who performed with Bill Evans. Woodwind players would have loved to have heard the Sonata Debussy was about to compose for Oboe..... I am thankful for every piece of joy we do have.

      I don't feel as upset for what the world was robbed of as much as I feel upset for what she was robbed of.

    Lili Boulanger: le printemps revient chaque fois que j'écoute ce chef d'oeuvre. A 24 ans! Rendez-vous compte, les amis! Quelle invention, quelle poésie ! La vie est injuste; moi qui n'ai rien composé, je suis toujours là à un âge avancé.😪 Pour rendre hommage à Lili, j'essaie de faire connaître autour de moi son oeuvre impérissable. Merci à cette grande dame.

    I was sad to learn that Lili Boulanger died at age 24. I lost my daughter Jessica to cancer when she was age 25. Jessica was not a musician; she wrote short fiction and poetry. While she bravely accepted the diagnosis her condition was terminal Jessica said "Life is unfair, and it is unfair that it is unfair." Sad but true for both Lili and Jessica.

      What Jessica said rings very true. I'm really sorry for your loss. I hope she's in heaven with her Savior.

      My condolences. Whoever dies is because he fulfilled the Mission on Earth. Jessica lives in the hearts of those who loved her.Que Deus abençoe o senhor e sua família.

      I’m sorry to hear of your daughter. I survived stage 4 terminal somehow and have survivors guilt from those who didn’t make it. But they went to a better place than this. This is supposed to be heaven. But humans are deeply confused!

    I’ve never heard this piece, but it kind of shocked me. It’s so light and gregarious considering the fact that she was writing this in the darkest days of her life.

    I like the very French-influenced melody at 4:20 we had to wait for. This piece sounds contemporary to my ears, similar to nice movie soundtracks, with instrumental choices that make me think of Holtz and John Williams. I love how the solo violin emerges out of clusters with other instruments.

    Marvelous! So much going on in such a short time interval - as though it's about a spring morning. Wait!! . . .
    R.I.P., dear Lili.

    She was one of the great geniuses of 20th century music, and lived only to 1918. Marvelous vision, expression, and craft.

    I really love this piece, and the performances by the players are excellent, but I don’t know if I like the interpretation from the conductor, especially the tempos.

    • @philzmusic8098
      @philzmusic8098 Год назад +1

      Too slow or too fast? I'd guess too slow.

    • @davidspratt2001
      @davidspratt2001 5 месяцев назад

      Tempo is a little fast, and I think that the piece loses some of its impressionist mystery. The performance on the cd 'les etoiles' is perfect.

    Sounds like Ravel and Debussy to me. Too impressionistic for my taste. To each his own.
