American Record Guide Praise for “Mademoiselle”

Order Now
“Carol Rosenberger, director of Delos and a former pupil of Boulanger, and pianist Lucy Mauro have done music lovers a great service in bringing so many of these unknown pieces to the public, many for the first time. … The soloists are excellent. … [Edwin] Crossley-Mercer’s sinuous, sexy voice makes one want to hear more of him in this repertoire. … [Alek] Shrader’s beautiful voice has darker colors than I would have suspected given his operatic roles. He too manages the texts well… Pianist Lucy Mauro accompanies superbly. Much of the color of Boulanger’s settings is in the piano part, and Mauro supports and leads her soloists without ever overshadowing them. Her traversal of Boulanger’s piano works is very good. I encourage any student of this repertoire to get hold of these pieces and bring them to the public so we can hear them more often. Cellist Amit Peled plays the works for cello and piano (with Mauro) exquisitely. … I hope [more] singers and instrumentalists will take up this composer’s cause.” —David Reynolds, American Record Guide
