Details

Strauss' Don Quixote is the most elaborate and richly detailed attempt to musically portray the adventures of Cervantes' romantically deranged hero. Three themes depicting Don Quixote, his love, Dulcinea, and Sancho Panza, are ingeniously transformed and combined as a succession of musical tableaux. Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade follows the stories of Aladdin, Sinbad and Ali Baba, which have long since passed into folk legend in the West. The music overflows with four movements of invention, masterful orchestration, colour, beauty and excitement.
