Don Quixote; Viktor Fedotov & Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra

Recording of Ludwig Minkus’s “Don Quichotte“. Act I 00:00:00 Act II 00:40:55 Act III 01:21:22 Conductor: Viktor Fedotov Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra Uploader’s note: just like in all “Don Quixote“ recordings in existence, a good chunk of the music isn’t Minkus’s, and the further you get into the ballet, the less and less there is of his original composition and Marius Petipa’s scenario. It’s more accurate to say this edition of the score is by Minkus and many, many, many other hands. For an overview of the sheer amount of interpolations and their sources, check the following review by MrLopez2681 of Nayden Todorov’s recording with the Sofia National Opera Orchestra: =cm_cr_srp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B06XZH2QXY As for the applause that suddenly pops up during acts II and III? No idea.
