Don Quixote - quick and dirty

this sunday, Oct 16, is the kickoff concert for SOPRF 80th season, and the centerpiece tune is Don Quixote.  A cello concerto w/out the name in the title, the Don's travels are musically protrayed by a solo cello - and his loyal side-kick, Sancho - by a solo viola.
the cello part is being played by John Sharp, principal cellist of CSO - I've heard him, and he is lovely (natch, but it also bears repeating)
Unfortunately.... I will be in virginia moving boxes, a date and activity set long before the concerts were known.  so.... I hope you can enjoy the music, for yourself and for me...

cheerio...
