Presentation

The pianist to whom FY-Solstice is paying homage with the release of these rare – and in certain cases, previously unreleased – recordings belongs to the history of music in France in the 20th century. Through her teaching, participation in numerous radio broadcasts, concerts and recitals and, obviously, her discs, she was a major figure. She began recording before the Second World War during which she was a member of the Resistance from the outset. Yvonne Lefébure was, in many respects, an extraordinary woman and a musician whose freedom of judgement paid little heed to diplomacy. This may have had an adverse effect on the development of her international career [...]. Lefébure was, above all, a musician and a free woman in a world that was hardly so.
