Wonderful!.......2001-01-29
This is a great CD. If you're a James Galway fan, this is a must have. He is, after all, THE GREATEST flutist in the world today. The CD is filled with some of the most beautiful (and relaxing) music ever written. Buy it. You will love it.

After suffering a childhood disease that crippled her immune system, Lili Boulanger was in frail health until her tragically early death at the age of 24. So it's particularly astounding to hear the passionate, powerful, large-scale setting of Psalm 150, the work of a mature, masterly composer. The other psalm settings and the Ancient Buddhist Prayer, similarly based in deep religious faith, are also moving music. But the most memorable experience this disc offers--and one of the most memorable in all recorded music--is the "Pie Jesu," a work of overwhelming intensity and beauty, exquisitely sung by a boy soprano who achieved musical immortality in that one moment four decades ago. All the performances, supervised by the composer's sister, Nadia, are extremely effective. Two of these pieces also appear in an excellent Lili Boulanger collection from Chandos. Start with this Everest disc, though, for the best available introduction to one of the greatest and least-known composers of the 20th century. --Leslie Gerber
Customer Reviews:
Faith before Death.......2000-01-22
All of this record is magnificent : Markevitch knows how to enhance the modernism, vitality and poetry of this music, composed by a very young genius - who died aged 24. The best part of the record could be the Pie Jesu, composed by the very catholic Lili Boulanger just before dying : the sorrow and the terrible pain of the beginning magnificently end in a peacefull lullaby. The very little orchestra (a few strings, an organ, a harp)and the boy's voice perfectly match the intensity and humility of the prayer and make this Pie Jesu a tremendously moving music.

Customer Reviews:
A break-through Vox Box.......2002-05-18
This was a break-through box set when first released in the Seventies, & it's still an excellent collection. The Talleferre & Schumann compositions are wonderful. Beach was a genius trapped in the Teutonic Boston Brahma tastes of her era; but she was, in my modest opinion, the top banana of the bunch, & did pay some attention to the 20th Century. Fanny Mendelssohn had talent & maturity. Lili Boulanger (Nadia's sister) died very young; the works by her & Carreno have a great deal of charm. Only the Chaminade Trio doesn't hold my interest.
The thirty year old liner notes have a bit of a "Gee whiz, women CAN compose music" attitude. But the music is the thing here. & the price is swell for a two CD set. The playing is gracious, the sound just fine...

Customer Reviews:
such a pity that nobody reviews this.......2005-04-03
I'm reviewing this disc because just now I suddenly felt urged to listen to it, especially compositions by Lili Boulanger. I'll not say much about her, because she has remained a mystery to me, a mystery that I wish not to unearth. I just prefer looking at her through the veil of her music, as if looking at God through His words. I hope this doesn't offend, but it's my real feeling for her music, especially Psalm 130, which almost summons me to kneel down and pray. It is like the voice of an angel, clad in white, mingled with the threat of infernal fire, whose image one can almost imagine so vividly that, every time I decided to listen to this disc, I shudder at its power. Of course, this is a purely personal, and perhaps quite exaggerated, feeling, but I'd like to share with all of you who's interested in Lili Boulanger.

Album Description
This album features Pacific Chorale's 30-voice professional chamber ensemble performing both a cappella and accompanied choral music.
Cecil Effinger's set of four songs is based on the poems of Thomas Hornsby Ferril. All of the songs are accompanied by the mournful and beautiful tones of a solo oboe.
Benjamin Britten wrote his Five Flower Songs in 1950 as a "floral" tribute to his friends Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst on their silver wedding anniversary.
James Hopkins composed "Echo (Come to Me in the Silence of the Night)" as a gift to Pacific Chorale. The successful reception of that movement encouraged Hopkins to create an entire song cycle featuring the beautiful, mostly wistful poetry of Christina Rossetti.
Lili Boulanger entered the Prix de Rome competition in 1913, becoming one of the few women ever permitted to attempt the contestand the first to win it. "Soir sur la plaine" was Boulanger's first-round submission. This recording features the piano reduction of the restored orchestral score.
Sara Teasdale's "There Will Be Rest," one of her last poems, is a perfect summary of her lifelong concern for the stars and their ancient promise of peace. Frank Ticheli's choral setting is designed to capture the poem's purity of spirit and delicate lyricism.
In 1996 John Alexander embarked on a project to compose a collection of songs using texts which demonstrate the extraordinary effect music has on the human experience. "Musica," (which is featured on Pacific Chorale's recording of the same name), uses an anonymous Latin text, first set to music by Orlando di Lasso in the 16th century. "In Praise of Music" is set to John Dryden's A Song for St. Cecilia's Day and "Sweet Harmony." is set to text from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, Act V, Scene 1.

Remarkable!.......2002-03-15
Great musicianship. Accomplished with the proficiency of masters, this music as a true artform performed with the greatest skill!
Stunning performances by and outstanding group.......2002-03-01
This is a stunning performance by an outstanding new ensemble. The John Alexander Singers have only been around for about 8 years, but have developed into a wonderful group under the baton of Maestro Alexander. The CD itself offers a nice variety of 20th century music that is beautifully performed and easy to understand. The Effinger pieces are accompanied by superb oboist Lon Bussell. The clarity of line and subtle nuance of dynamic are most enjoyable. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys fine A Capella ensemble singing.

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.

Customer Reviews:
Great collection of 19th/20th Century music.......2003-08-12
This is a great collection of works from 19th and 20th century women composers. Keep in mind, it is only a small sample of what's available, but an excellent place to start. It is also a good choice if you are a teacher wanting to introduce women composers to your class and do not want to invest in dozens of CDs. There are no large-scale works on this CD, so it is ideal as a sampler (or for use with kids in a classroom setting). I highly recommend this CD.
It's about Time!.......2001-12-07
A top-notch sampling of mainly 20th-century music by women composers, including Lili Boulanger and Pulitzer Prize-winners Ellen Taaffe Zwilich and Shulamit Ran, this cd proves that the music has been excellent all along. What we have needed are good recordings of superior performances. The samples often are brief--e.g., a single movement from Clarke's cello sonata--yet do provide jumping off points for more concentrated pursuit of favorite composers. Those uninitiated in women's works will become familiar here with some of the best of the last 150 years: Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Thea Musgrave, and on and on. I hope every author of a text on music since 1840 will come to know and adore this cd, then include the music in their discussions of music history. It's about time!
