Jeanne Leleu: Une consécration éclatante. Vol. 1: Musique de chambre et mélodies

Description

Discover the fascinating Ravelian music of Jeanne Leleu! “First Grand Prix de Rome for composition in 1923, Jeanne Leleu was waiting for a recognition that other countries, in place of ours, would already have made brilliant.” (Le Monde, April 30, 1947) A child prodigy and piano virtuoso, Jeanne Leleu performed Ravel’s Ma mère l’Oye at the age of eleven. A brilliant composer, she was the author of many masterpieces, from songs to chamber music, from ballet to symphonic works. Performed notably at the Opéra de Paris and by the greatest orchestras of her time, she was unanimously recognized by her peers and by the critics. This first volume, devoted to her early works, offers a chance to rediscover this major figure of the 20th century.
