The Choir - 13/01/2008

Aled Jones explores the choral world of French composer Lili Boulanger, who died tragically young at the age of only 24. After her death, her music was promoted tirelessly by her elder sister Nadia. An acclaimed conductor and teacher, Nadia was the founder of a vocal ensemble which reintroduced the works of Monteverdi and Schutz to the salons of Paris. Plus there's a complete performance of Faure's Requiem, conducted by Thierry Fischer with the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales.
