"L'Ile" from "Les Nuits D'Ete" by Hector Berlioz sung by Susan Welland - Soprano and accompanied by Eunice Pike on the Piano, at a Lunchtime Concert which was performed at Winchester Cathedral on 3rd August 2010 and videoed by Louis Ross.

"L'ILE INCONNUE" translation
Tell me, pretty young maid, where would you like to go? The sail bellies like a wing, the breeze is about to blow. The oar is of ivory, the flag of watered silk, the rudder of fine gold; For ballast I have an orange, for sail, an angel's wing, for ship's boy, a seraph Would it be to the Baltic, or to the Pacific, or to the isle of Java? Or else would it be to Norway, to pluck the snow flower? Or the flower of Angsoka? Take me, said the pretty young maid, to the faithful shore, where love endures for ever. That shore, my dear, is scarce known in the realm of love. Where would you like to go? The breeze is about to blow.
