Work: Capriccio: Moonlight music and final scene

The operatic focus was on Otello and Capriccio, but Enrique Mazzola held back the LPO's star turn with Dvořák’s overture as a thrilling opener. 

Renée Fleming assumes the role of the Countess is Capriccio as part of an all-Strauss program at Symphony Hall. 

The Nash Ensembles' "Echoes of Romanticism" series at the Wigmore Hall, of which this concert was a part, is not really an exploration of romanticism as such, but rather a charting of the rise and fall of Teutonic music between Mozart and Schoenberg.
