The best recording of Don Quixote I've ever heard, and this work has had some fine recordings. Karajan, always a superb Strauss conductor, shapes a coherent narrative such that one's attention never flags. The conductor, orchestra, and recording combine to make the contributions of various instruments clear and telling. Indeed, the sound must be close to peerless. Especially noteworthy is the clear separation between orchestra and the two solo instruments, cello and violin. Often despite the best efforts of performers and engineers, those solos get lost in the orchestral sound. Not here. Such splendid perfomances as Kempe and Previn remain joys to listen to, Previn's especially with rich, luscious sound. But no recording I've heard gets everything so right as this magnificent recording.
