About

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Music lovers everywhere can now hear Boulanger’s complete works, published and unpublished (including 13 world premieres), in the genres of the art song, solo piano, cello and piano, and organ, as performed by an all-star array of musicians.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.

30th June 2017

There is a personal reminiscence from a Boulanger pupil and friend by pianist Carol Rosenberger (born 1933) that I much enjoyed and which threw much light on the background of the period. Lucy Mauro, the pianist, then writes briefly about the project in general and about future plans. I heartily recommend this fascinating double CD.
