Based on the timeless, imaginative novel, Richard Strauss’ Don Quixote conjures the knight’s story with otherworldly tones and artistic narrative. Philadelphia Orchestra’s cellist Yumi Kendall “plays” the main character of the heroic Don Quixote’s fantastical adventures. Johann Strauss, Jr. praises Spain’s treasured musical traditions in Spanish March. Manuel de Falla’s The Three-Cornered Hat features a comedy of errors with frenzied and euphoric tones.
