Compositrices : à l'aube du XXe siècle, Juliette Hurel ; Hélène Couvert, (sound recording)

Contributor
Summary
Juliette Hurel and Hélène Couvert, who have long enjoyed a close rapport on the concert platform and on disc, here celebrate five French women composers at the turn of the twentieth century. Countess Clémence de Grandval was the composer of some sixty songs. Augusta Holmès earned the admiration of Liszt, Wagner and Saint-Saëns. To mark the universal exhibition of 1889, she composed a monumental work for more than a thousand musicians. During her studies at the conservatoire, Mélanie Bonis fell madly in love with a singer, but had to marry a rich industrialist. She later returned to composition and used the pseudonym Mel Bonis, leaving her gender in doubt. Cécile Chaminade displayed extraordinary gifts at a very early age. Bizet called her 'my little Mozart'. Lili Boulanger received her first music lessons from her sister, the famous teacher Nadia. In 1913, at the age of nineteen, she became the first woman to receive the Prix de Rome. The word 'compositrice' was born!
