Collection: Ballet Music Gracious and sparkling! These words cover the wonderful, witty music. Auber was one of the great opera composers -but as for many contemporaries the possibilities for performances are limited. Thanks to the Gothenburg Opera Orchestra this production comes as one of Sterling's best releases. Ever. |

Collection: Ballet Music Subcollection: Orchestra DON QUIXOTE A ballet by Ludwig Minkus SYNOPSIS Don Quixote, who is a great lover of tales of chivalry, decides to set off on his travels in order to achieve great feats, which will bring glory to his name. As his sword-bearer, he chooses the loyal Sancho Panza. A street festival in Barcelona, in front of the tavern kept by Lorenzo. Kitri, daughter of the innkeeper, is flirting with Basil, the barber, who is in love with her. Finding them together Lorenzo, Kitri's father, chases Basil away: the barber isn't a good match for his daughter. Lorenzo intends Kitri to marry Gamache, a rich nobleman. Everybody greet the torero, Espada, and a street dancer. Don Quixote appears in the square, accompanied by Sancho Panza. Lorenzo invites Don Quixote into the inn. Sancho Panza is left in the square. But when young people in street deride Sancho, Don Quixote immediately hurries to his sword bearer's rescue. Don Quixote is astonished by the beauty of Lorenzo's daughter, Kitri. In his mind, she becomes Dulcinea, "the lady of his heart". But Kitri disappears. She has run off with Basil. Lorenzo, Gamache and Don Quixote set out to look for her. Kitri and Basil are hiding in a gypsy's camp. Near to the gypsies, a group of vagrant actors prepare for their show. Soon, Don Quixote appears. He watches the puppet show, and, led away by the visions of chivalry tales, rushes to the rescue of the theater shows’ heroes. The theater, the decorations and the puppets are destroyed. After that, he catches the sight of the windmills that are seen in the neighborhood and mistakes them for evil magicians. He rushes to fight them. Don Quixote, wounded after falling from a windmill, is in the forest, accompanied by Sancho Panza. He falls asleep. In his dreams, Don Quixote sees Dulcinea surrounded by dryads and fairies. In a tavern, the young people are dancing, Kitri and Basil among them. Suddenly they are found by Lorenzo and Gamache. Lorenzo wishes to make an immediate announcement of the betrothal of Kitri and Gamache. But Basil, by agreement with Kitri, pretends to take his life. Kitri begs Don Quixote to persuade her father to bless her love with her dying sweetheart. As soon as Lorenzo does that and agrees to their marriage, Basil jumps to his feet. There is no point in his pretending to be dead any longer. At Kitri and Basil's wedding, Don Quixote occupies a place of honor. He wishes the young couple happiness and sets off to his travels again. Alexander Glazunov (1865 - 1936) is one of the most eminent Russian composers, a brilliant symphonist and melodist, the author of numerous symphonic and instrumental works. He was the favorite pupil of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov; on the other hand, in his symphonic compositions, he became a successor of Tchaikovsky. For many years, Glazunov was the director of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire (later turned into Petrograd and then to Leningrad Conservatoire). He had a phenomenal musical memory; using his unique abilities, he (together with Rimsky-Korsakov) undertook the great task of finishing Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor, and wrote down the first movement of his Third Symphony. Two Concert Waltzes were composed in 1893-94. This was the time of a fresh upsurge of the composers' activity after a crisis in 1890-91. At the same time, several important works were written, including the 3d and the 4th symphonies. In the waltzes, Glazunov develops the tradition of this genre that descends from Mikhail Glinka's Waltz-Fantasy. © Classical Records |
