Sisters

Johan Farjot has signed with Klarthe the first complete collection of the piano works of Lili and Nadia Boulanger, whose exceptional genius resounds, more than a century later, as a symbol of courage in the face of adversity.

With the complicity of the CNLB*, Johan Farjot draws from their published scores as well as from the manuscript treasures of the National Libraries and Archives, exhuming and interpreting three unpublished discoveries, recorded for the first time on disc.
