The mention of Kenins gives me a welcome opportunity to point out that
that composer, now resident in Canada, is .always. worth keeping an ear
out for- and (sigh) rather underrepresented on CD. The most easily
available CD at present is a CBC-Centrediscs production with his piano
quartet #2, cello sonata, and concertante for flute and piano. I
definitely recommend this. Wide diversity of styles (mid-century
Romantic-modernism in the earlier works, eclectic combination of lyrical
modernism and hints of avant-gardism in the piano quartet) but always
enjoyable. His 4th symphony was available on a Canadian CD set but that's
hard to find now, unfortunately.
I thought Sessions did .not. study under Boulanger...
