Nadia Boulanger

[TaylorLduckett1]

my music teacher studied under her!

[philippesaisse]

Not only musical analysis at its most sublime, but a divine and spiritual experience!

There was a scene in the Stravinsky: Once at a Border documentary of her saying something about how geniuses are ahead of their time and the public has to play catch up, or something to that effect. I wish it was posted here on youtube.

Filmed at her apartment on the Rue Ballu. In the six-hand playing at the end, the guy on the far side is the American pianist Charles Fisk, now a professor at Wellesley. I'm pretty sure this is from the early 1970s - she died in 1979.

Filmé en 1973 pour TF1 par Bruno Monsaingeon et remonté en film (disponible en DVD: Mademoiselle) en 1977.

The resonance of that piano is incredibly beautiful, the vibrations gives this warm yet rainy feel. Is it the piano that's not exactly tuned? Recording equipment? I want my piano to sound like this! :P

[NJlo]

@Honken The fact that the pitch moves up and down leads me to believe it's because of the recording on tape.. Don't think a mechanical fault in the thing could do that

[Honken]

@NJlo

Agreed, I was just thrown off by how little the speaking voices are affected by the tape.

Ali McGraw in Love Story said she wanted to study with Boulanger

[iltuta]

The first piece of music she plays is the beginning of Ave Verum Corpus by William Byrd

[cardangel16]

My conservatory choir director was a student of hers! He is something else...out of this world.

[NJlo]

@cardangel16 Oh cool, where do you study? Classical dept?

[cardangel16]

@NJlo
