"there's one thing concerning criticism that one shouldn't do: if you can't genuinely "feel" the work of art, just don't venture to review it!
Comparing Copland, Thomson, Harris with the Boulangers doesn't mean anything. They're definitely different types of composers who write different music which's so alien to each other that I personally reckon they won't and shouldn't be mentioned together! it's not that one is good, the other is bad. they're all excellent music that stand on their own! Expect Lili Boulanger to compose Copland's music is like asking Bach to compose "The Rite of Spring"! They're just that different."
Ahead of its time music

"Lili Boulanger was an artist way ahead of her time, especially considering that she died at just 24. A true genius, this album is an excellent introduction to her work and special artistry."
