About "La Damnation de Faust, Op. 24 / Part 3 : Berlioz: La Damnation de Faust, Op. 24 / Part 3: Menuet des Follets" by Daniel Barenboim
Menuet des Follets is a danse macabre in miniature, Berlioz's will-o'-the-wisps flickering with malicious glee. Barenboim teases out the music's ironic elegance, each phrase a courtly bow that hides a smirk. The minuet's grace is a trap, its charm a lureâthese follets dance not for joy but for mischief.
