Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 5
Kian Soltani, cello
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
Daniel Barenboim, conductor
An epic tone poem rather than a concerto, Richard Strauss's Don Quixote calls upon a solo cello to represent the titular character of Miguel de Cervantes's novel. Each variation depicts one of the Don's exciting adventures, which include his decision to become a knight-errant, mistaking a herd of sheep for an approaching army and battles with magicians and knights. Composed less than a decade earlier in 1888, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 brings tonight's concert to a rousing conclusion.
