Composer/Series: Don Quixote in Spanish Music
Description
The five works that make up this CD are all based on Cervantes' masterpiece and all written by Spanish composers. They give us a musical insight into a literary work that is still vibrant and relevant today, not only as an entertaining, thought-provoking text, but also as a source of artistic inspiration. From Barbieri's mid-nineteenth-century stage work (1861) to Jorge Fern?índez Guerra's new soundtrack for Pabst's 1930s film (2005), from echoes of Spanish song to the European symphonic tradition, Don Quixote has inspired musical creations and re-creations ranging from the faithful to the utopian, from attempts at programmatic depictions of the knight's thousand and one tales to heartfelt idealisations.
