Jeanne Leleu: Une consecration eclatante. Vol. 1: Musique de chambre on CD

"Grand Prix de Rome for composition in 1923, Jeanne Leleu deserves a dazzling triumph that any other country apart from ours would have already brilliantly accorded her." (Le Monde, April 30, 1947) A child prodigy and virtuoso at the piano, Jeanne Leleu was chosen to premiere Ravel's famous piece "Ma mère l'Oye" at the age of eleven. A brilliant composer, she wrote many masterpieces, songs, chamber music, ballets and symphonic works. Her pieces were performed at the Paris Opera and by the most important orchestras of her time, and she was unanimously acclaimed by her peers and by the critics. This first volume, devoted to her youthful works, will allow listeners to rediscover a major, unjustly forgotten figure in 20th century music.
