Yannick Nezet-Seguin will take up his baton to guide the Billboard-topping London Philharmonic Orchestra on Nov. 21 at the Royal Festival Hall in the United Kingdom.
The well-traveled Nezet-Seguin will take the orchestra along with violist Lawerence Power and cellist Truls Mork through renditions of Haydn and Richard Strauss.
The orchestra will play Haydn's "Symphony No.44 (Tauer)" and his "Cello Concerto No. 2," with Truls Mork at center stage. Cervantes novel "Don Quixote,"will also be played.
"Inspired by Cervantes's touchstone novel, Richard Strauss set about capturing the legendary Don Quixote in a set of wild variations that he hoped would surpass even his most colourful orchestral tapestries. The resulting piece contains all of Strauss's virtues and none of his faults: a blend of jollity and pathos that also carries poignant tenderness and pain through its sonic portraits of a knight's fantastic adventures. Truls Mørk transforms himself into the Don for the quixotic cello solo," said Royal Festival Hall.
One of the most heralded books Miguel de Cervantes "Don Quixote," follows the adventures of Alsono Quijano a Castilian hidalgo and his farm hand squire Sancho Panza.
The man from Castile read too many chivalric novels and decides to revive the fading notion of chivalry by setting out throughout his land in order to restore the idea and goes under the name "Don Quixote."
Cervantes book is meant to be humorous with Sancho Panza frequently inserting his wit on the things the hidalgo does.
