Don Quijote

About

Trondheim Symfoniorkester pairs Beethoven’s evocative “Pastoral” Symphony with Richard Strauss’s descriptive tone poem Don Quijote. The program highlights orchestral storytelling, moving from idyllic scenes of nature to the chivalric and tragicomic adventures of Cervantes’ hero. Strauss’s score is noted for vivid orchestration that lets listeners practically “see” the action, making it an adventurous experience for the players and a deeply moving one for the audience.
