Lili Boulanger - Pie Jesu (boy soprano)

Performance by Alain Fauqueur, voice, and the Lamoureux Concert Association Orchestra From Wikipedia: Marie-Juliette Olga "Lili" Boulanger (21 August 1893 – 15 March 1918) was a French composer, and the first female winner of the Prix de Rome composition prize. Her older sister was the noted composer and composition teacher Nadia Boulanger. Pie Jesu, for voice, string quartet, harp, and organ, is Lili Boulanger's last work, dictated by the composer to her sister Nadia during the former's deathbed. As a result, it is truly haunting, a quality I believe is best represented in Alain Fauqueur's—then a boy—interpretation here. Score from: https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:Imagef...
