Cyrille Dubois, Tristan Raës - Lili et Nadia Boulanger: Mélodies (2020) CD-Rip

It was the Boulanger Competition which brought Dubois and Raës together in 2009, and their long-term immersion in these frequently astonishing songs is evident at every turn, from the atmospheric languor of Nadia’s Versailles to the evocative depiction of Ulysses’s return to Ithaca in Lili’s Quatre Chants; Dubois’s high tenor is now capable of packing a considerable punch, most memorably in Nadia’s dramatic Le Couteau and Soir d’hiver
