Strauss: Capriccio / Eschenbach, Fleming, Skovhus, Schade, Weiner Staatsoper
Richard Straussās last stage work is an opera about opera as an art form, depicting the creation of a music drama in a wise and witty way. Which came first ā words or music? That is the question that Strauss and his librettist Clemens Krauss address through the story of a Countess torn between a composer and a poet. āRenĆ©e Fleming is a world-class Countess, moving and intense ⦠All around her there is luxury casting: Bo Skovhus as the Count, Michael Schade as Flamand, Markus Eiche as Olivier, Kurt Rydl as the theatre director La Roche, the wonderful Angelika Kirchschlager as Clairon ā all strike exactly the right note, as do the singers in the smaller roles, turning this Capriccio into an event of the first importance.ā (Der Kurier, Vienna)

REVIEW:
The greatest pleasure of the performance undoubtedly comes in the wonderful playing of the Staatsoper orchestra, the sweet, tender strings and the mellifluous horns in particular; and Christoph Eschenbach conducts a leisurely and loving account of Strauss's gorgeous score.
