 Igor Stravinsky |  Rimsky-Korsakov ‘Capriccio Espagnol’Richard Strauss ‘Oboe Concerto’ Stravinsky ‘Petrushka’ Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol captures the warmth and exuberance of Spain in brilliant technicolour, a free rhapsody based on folksong tunes. The Strauss concerto uses only a small orchestra and provides a wonderful showcase for our principal oboist. Stravinsky’s charming ballet depicts the colourful atmosphere of the Shrovetide Fair and draws on Russian folk melodies to tell the story of a puppet unsuccessful in love. |
