La Folle Journée 2019: Carnets de voyage
Various Artists
“Have ticket, will travel” might be how you’d translate the theme of 2019’s La Folle Journée, that feast of music laid on by the French city of Nantes. Composers conjuring up distant climes or giving their musical responses to places encountered in their travels make for a wonderfully varied programme—Dvořák in the New World, Berlioz in Italy, Rodrigo in Aranjuez, Liszt in Switzerland…the list goes on. Well-chosen excerpts, stylish performances and plenty of colourful destinations make this a charming way to while away the time fantasising about places to visit—in person or in your imagination.
