Chekhov's Mistress
Don Quixote and Music at Ionarts
Ionarts, a classical music blog is reading the Quixote with particular attention to music from the period:
…I took note (Jordi Savall and Cervantes, December 8, 2005) of a recording project undertaken by Jordi Savall with his performing groups, Hespèrion XXI and La Capella Reial de Catalunya, to recreate the “soundtrack” of Don Quixote. Every time that Cervantes mentions music being performed, which is quite often, Savall and friends tried to find the actual piece referenced by Cervantes or, when that was not possible, to find something from the period that was appropriate for what is described in the novel. Savall and some of his performers presented excerpts from this project at some venues during their recent tours of the United States, but not at their appearance in Baltimore, which we had hoped to review but could not. Well, now a copy of that 2-CD set has come into my hands: over the next few weeks, I will be rereading Don Quixote and examining the sounds of the recording in conjunction with that reading. Readers are invited to join the Ionarts Book Club and make comments based on their own reading.
