Germaile Tailleferre: Pastorale, Grasse 1942 performed by Young Music

This serene piece composed by the only female composer of "Les six" reflects a variety of contrasting emotions when we remember that it was composed in 1942 in Grasse en Provence, the world capital of perfume... for us, it represents a longing for peace and serenity in a torn up world.

magnifique!

My usual listening pleasures had dried up and now I'm inspired again.

Thank you!

@OrchestrationOnline I couldn't agree more with you. I discovered her through reading about 'Les Six' the other day and listening to everyone compositions. Of course I'm a Satie fan, but also a Schumann and Chopin fan. Tailleferre's compositions contain a rare combination of simplicity, elegance, smoothness, and intrigue, mystery, even surreal in a childlike way like in her Pastorale Inca. While I greatly enjoy all of the great composers, there's something so refreshing w/ Tailleferre.

Bravo! So nice to see this work on YouTube.

Brilliant! Tailleferre is so seldom played - and yet she has such deep simplicities. Where Debussy would have gone if he'd survived another decade.
