NOTE. My personal preference among Don Quixote's many recorded performances. It's also my favorite Strauss tone poem. Schuster is as much a star as Bernstein. His masterful use of the cello as a narrative instrument, virtuosity at the service of the story, exceeds than of any other version I've heard. There's lots of portamento during the lyrical sections.
