“…what you’ve got here is historic and very great indeed: the first recording of music by one of the most important figures in all of 20th century music but one whose own music has been kept under virtual lock and key since her death in 1979 at the age of 92.… Listen to these songs, piano pieces and works for cello and piano and you’ll, in fact, be dumbfounded that it took so long for this music to have its world premiere on record. So much of it is is of a beauty that belies that other, majestic life she led, as a pedagogue who transformed American musical composition in the 20th century. Here are records of marvelous music, some of which has eluded the world completely for far too long. Don’t call it Debussyan because Debussy is just where the first step into where this music goes.…” —Jeff Simon, Buffalo News
Mademoiselle is “One of the most important records of the year”
