Clifford Curzon (Piano) Yehudi Menuhin (Violin) Written in 1918 Recorded in 1967. Marie-Juliette Olga Boulanger +••.••(...)) was born into a musical family. Her grandfather was a cellist, her grandmother a famous soprano (Marie-Julie Boulanger, née Hallinger), her father a composer who had won the Prix de Rome in 1835. Her mother, Countess Raissa Myshetskaya, was a professional singer, and her sister was Nadia Boulanger, who became famous as a teacher. Lili took lessons from the great harpists Marcel Tournier and Alphonse Hasselmans, and also studied violin, cello, and piano. At the age of 16 she began studying composition. Her primary teachers were Georges Caussade and Paul Vidal. She made such progress that her elder sister, Nadia, realized she could not match her talent, and changed her career to teaching. Lili was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire in 1912. In May of that year she entered the famous Prix de Rome competition for composers, but she fell ill during the strenuous period of composition and had to withdraw. That year no one gained first prize. When she competed again in 1913, she became the first woman to win the coveted prize. Her winning composition was a cantata, Faust et Hélène. Measles prevented her from traveling immediately to Rome, but she arrived there in the middle of March, 1914. She faced the hostility of the director of the French Academy there, Albert Besnard, who was sure the mere presence of a woman among the residents would destroy discipline. She returned to France for a family vacation in July, and remained there when World War I broke out, in order to give what help she could to the war effort. She died from tuberculosis in March 1918.
