    Overview

    Wagner’s intimate birthday gift to his wife Cosima, the Siegfried Idyll, and Mozart’s masterly C major Quintet precede excerpts from Richard Strauss’s magical late opera Capriccio.

    Sally Matthews sings the part of the Countess Madeleine, giving life to music that blends Mozartean classicism with the overwhelming romantic impulses of Wagner
