American conductor Marin Alsop (Pre-College ’72; BM ’77, MM ’78, violin) leads the Juilliard Orchestra in this performance of Richard Strauss' Don Juan, based on the legendary Spanish figure of the same name. Strauss' tone poem features musical themes representing love and violence in equal measure. While the solo violin and oboe portray the more romantic side of the story, perhaps the most iconic theme is the heroic horn call, which has become synonymous with the piece itself.
