Description:

Conducting & Performing with Women Musicians who have made significant contributions to 20th century musicThe talents of composer, conductor, teacher, organist, pianist, harpsichordist, choral leader, and musicologist Nadia Boulanger are endless. Raised in a French musical family, she was never considered to be as good as her sister Lili Boulanger, a genius who died young in composition, but as a teacher, she nurtured many great musicians and was hailed as a contributor to 20th century music. From Monteverdi through rare French Baroque works to Brahms, Nadia Boulanger's postwar recordings for Decca, USA, are now available on CD for the first time from the original tapes. Newly remastered, this is the first time the entire collection has been released together. Includes liner notes by Nigel Simeone. 5 CD set in original jacket. Universal Music/IMS
