Nadia Boulanger: Mademoiselle

Director: Bruno Monsaingeon

Overview

During her 92 years, professor, conductor and occasional composer Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) cultivated a reputation as one of the most highly esteemed of all music educators. With his documentary Mademoiselle, French filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon visits Boulanger in 1977. Intuitively resisting questions of a biographical nature, he instead seeks to give viewers a heightened impression of the artist and her work by filming her conducting numerous classical pieces. The performing musicians include Emile Naoumoff, on Mozart's Fantasie et un mineur; Charles Fisk, on Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze op. 6; The Boston Symphony Orchestra, on Stravinsky's Symphony de Psaumes; and many others.
