Le Chevalier errant-Suite

The Orchestre National de Lyon and its new music director Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider have entered into a collaboration with Channel Classics that includes various recordings combining the great works of the repertoire with lesser-known pieces. Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, recognized as one of the finest violinists of our time, has built an international career as a conductor and now leads some of the world's greatest orchestras. On the album Strauss & Ibert, viola player Amihai Grosz and cellist Jian Wang take on the musical roles of Sancho Panza and Don Quixote in Strauss' virtuosic tone poem Don Quichot. The symphonic suite from Jaques Ibert's Le chevalier errant also depicts moments from Cervantes' Don Quixote, interspersed with scenes from the knight's adventures, including the famous fight in The Windmills, the dance of the galley slaves and various dances, including a flamenco.
