The small label La boîte à pépites investigates the music of women composers, all of them so far from France. Introduced by appealing cover drawings, they explore a single composer in depth, often devoting more than one volume to the same figure. Here, Jeanne Leleu is featured on the first volume of what is to become a multi-volume series. The songs and chamber music here are early works, but they already reveal a distinctive voice from Leleu, who, as a child piano prodigy, gave the world premiere of Ravel's Ma mère l'oye and won the Prix de Rome in 1923 for her cantata Béatrix. There is little evidence of contemporary trends, but neither is Leleu's music derivative of anyone else's. The opening Quartet for violin, viola, cello, and piano has a lovely quiet and lyrical tone sustained over its three movements. Perhaps the highlights are the Six Sonnets de Michel-Ange ("Six Sonnets of Michelangelo"), which also exist in an orchestral version; they receive standout performances from soprano Marie-Laure Garnier, who is agile in catching the turns Leleu brings to the sonnet form. The finale En Italie piano pieces are colorful programmatic works, never obvious. Pianist Célia Oneto Bensaid and the other performers deliver clean readings, keeping in mind the label's goal of putting the composer at the center of each release. One anxiously awaits further volumes devoted to Leleu, who wrote a good deal of music in larger forms.
