Fantastic variations on a chivalrous theme
after Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes

About

What better narrator than Elliot Jenicot, with his gift for clowning and pantomime to present the adventures of the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance and his squire Sancho Panza to a young audience? The notes are, of course, by Richard Strauss, with “fantastic variations” revised by Arthur Lavandier, born in 1987, for the wind players of the Ensemble Ouranos. Illustrated by Cécile Pruvot, Cervantes’ hero will therefore joust with windmills and a flock of sheep and muse at length on his distant Dulcinea, to name but a few episodes, in a more pared-back form. An antihero’s life, in short.
