Man of La Mancha, the story of Don Quixote, a tale of human faith and survival, of innocence, honesty and courage, won both the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Tony Award as the best musical of the 1965-1966 season. In total, the show won 5 Tony Awards, including one for best score that captured both the emotional essence of the story in "The Impossible Dream" (a song that the public quickly took to it's heart) and synthesised it's Spanish roots with songs like "Man of La Mancha", "Dulcinea", "Aldonza". It ran on Broadway for almost six years, playing a total of 2,328 performances.

London audiences were recently treated to this show at the 2000 Covent Garden Festival at the Peacock Theatre. The BBC Concert Orchestra supported Broadway and television star Ron Raines as Don Quixote, with his heart striving "to reach the unreachable star!", Kim Criswell as Dulcinea, Avery Saltzman as Sancho, the faithful manservant and opera star Della Jones as The Housekeeper.

This first complete recording of Man of La Mancha on 2 CDs features this great cast together with a host of West End talent.
