El Retablo de Maese Pedro is considered to be one of the Spanish composer’s most masterful compositions, as evidenced by both his imaginative scoring and impeccable sense of pacing. It is a show within a show, a musical setting of a scene from Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote, in which the Don and Sancho Panza watch a puppet show in La Mancha.
