Don Quixote
He tilted at windmills and went to battle with armies of sheep. Miguel de Cervantes' mad hero, Don Quixote, has been a classic literary figure since the early 1600s. In today's show, a full hour of nothing but the Don and his faithful sidekick, Sancho Panza, in works by Georg Philipp Telemann and Richard Strauss.
