About

Nadia Boulanger as a teacher is placed at the centre of this album and this CD is dedicated to the trios namesake: she remains to this day a great source of inspiration through her exceptional personality and her uncompromising commitment to music! Leonard Bernstein, Astor Piazzolla, Jean Françaix, Philip Glass, Quincy Jones – from the 1920s onwards, students of music were seeking out Nadia Boulanger in the Rue Ballu in Paris.

Quincy Jones in particular has fond memories of Nadia Boulanger’s advice to him: “Nadia Boulanger, my former teacher in Paris, used to tell me, ‘Quincy, there are only 12 notes, and until God gives us 13, I want you to know what everybody did with those 12. Bach, Beethoven, Bo Diddley, everybody … it’s the same 12 notes!!’”
