About

This release features music associated with Cervantes' famous novel Don Quixote, published over 400 years ago - all these works by 20th-century Spanish and French composers are based on episodes from Don Quixote's life.
Álvarez has been celebrated for his compelling performances on the world's opera stages - including La Scala for Puccini's Madama Butterfly, and Mozart's Don Giovanni (release on DVD in 2007 conducted by Gustavo Dudamel), Barcelona for Verdi's rarely performed Giovanna D'Arca, and the MET for his portrayal of Germont in La Traviata.
 
"Recommended" CD Compact

''This recording is a jewel. . . Álvarez has a wonderful timbre and great expression'' Scherzo
