Work: Capriccio, Op.85: Sextet

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. 

The players demonstrated again the unity of an impromptu ensemble, although made up of instrumentalists that have played numerous times together. 

Alisa Weilerstein and Trondheim Soloists have an eye on the calories in three great Romantic string sextets by Richard Strauss, Schoenberg and Tchaikovsky.
