Où voulez-vous aller? 
La voile enfle son aile. 
La brise va souffler!
L’Ile Inconnue [The Unknown Isle] 
– Théophile Gautier music by Hector Berlioz

Telemann’s account of the adventures of Don Quixote is a light-hearted start to the day, followed by Magdalena Karolak playing Joan Pla’s delightful Oboe Concerto. After several diversions the concert concludes with Jean-Féry Rebel’s Les Caractères de la Danse, a unique composition opening with a gracious Prélude followed by a continuous suite of popular dance movements. The Baroque strand continues later with the young Westland Baroque ensemble, joined by Anna Devin for two Handel arias.

Marc Danel, leader of the incomparable Quatuor Danel, partners Festival regular, Alexei Grynyuk for Weinberg’s Fourth Violin Sonata – tenderness and drama are found side-by-side in its three continuous, intertwined movements. Berlioz’ Nuits d’été is a song cycle for incurable romantics – the search for wild strawberries, the ecstatic spectre of a rose you wore at the ball, everywhere doomed lovers and, of course, the Unknown Isle where love endures for ever.

Madárdal – the title of Andrea Tarrodi’s Second Quartet - is Hungarian for birdsong. Tarrodi herself is half Swedish, half Hungarian so this Quartet features folk songs from each country, along with their birdsong. Dvořák’s famous Dumky Trio is a much-loved masterpiece with its quicksilver mood changes and succession of to-die-for tunes. Brahms described his C minor Piano Quartet as an illustration for the last chapter of Werther, the archetypal Romantic hero of German literature, who shoots himself because of his anguished love for a married woman whose husband he admires.

Franck’s only Quartet, whose potent Larghetto is one of his most magnificent conceptions, had a deservedly tumultuous reception at its premiere. It is a big work demanding dedicated performers such as Quatuor Zaïde.
