The profound tone poetry of the Romantic period
A Richard Strauss masterpiece performed by Karajan and Rostropovich.
"Don Quixote" is a symphonic poem featuring the cello solo, depicting the adventures of a knight through music. Rostropovich's expressive performance and Karajan's commanding power are in perfect harmony, fusing narrative and musicality at a high level. The Berlin Philharmonic's profound sound enhances the drama of the work in this outstanding performance.
