🇺🇦 #NowPlaying on BBC #Radio3's #FridayNightIsMusicNight Mitch Leigh, Richard Balcombe, BBC Concert Orchestra & Matthew Walker: 🎵 The Impossible Dream #BBCRadio3 #MitchLeigh #RichardBalcombe #BBCConcertOrchestra #MatthewWalker

"The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" is a #popularSong composed by #MitchLeigh, with lyrics written by #JoeDarion. It was written for the 1965 Broadway musical #ManOfLaMancha and originally performed by that play's star #RichardKiley and featured in the 1972 film of the same name. The complete song is first sung by #DonQuixote as he stands vigil over his armor, in response to Aldonza (#Dulcinea)'s question about what he means by "following the quest".
