Artiste: Sonoko Miriam Welde

Don Quixote provides the inspiration for songs by Ravel and Ibert, the high point of a bitty programme in contrast to an early evening recital which followed the perfect trajectory.

A fitting farewell for Leif Ove Andsnes' Rosendal Chamber Music Festival: imaginative programming and excellent performances in an inspiring setting. 

Saturday's opening concert of the Oslo Chamber Music Festival was something of a lukewarm experience, yet it occasionally shone with ravishing Beethoven and deeply engaging Bartók.
