This orchestral masterpiece brings together three of Strauss' most renowned works: "Don Juan," "Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche," and "Don Quixote." The album features the exceptional performances of the Dresdner Philharmonie, conducted by Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, with Claudio Bohórquez as the solo cellist for "Don Quixote."
