Don Quixote; Till Eulenspiegel

Album by Richard Strauss & Jean‐Guihen Queyras & Tabea Zimmermann & Gürzenich‐Orchester Köln & François‐Xavier Roth

Don Quixote and Till Eulenspiegel are orchestral tone poems by Richard Strauss, composed in 1897 and 1895 respectively. They use vivid orchestration and recurring motifs to depict narrative episodes, and they show Strauss developing his mature approach to orchestral colour and thematic transformation.
