		Capriccio Espagnol began as a projected "Fantasy on Spanish Themes" for violin and orchestra, but Rimsky rapidly concluded that he could do better justice to the melodies with a purely orchestral work – "the Spanish themes, of dance character, furnished me with rich material for employing colourful orchestral effects".
		Capriccio Espagnol is a short suite, in five linked movements.
		Capriccio Espagnol is not a profound piece of music, but it is an enormously enjoyable one, and Rimsky-Korsakov knew it.

		The opinion reached by both critics and the public, that the Capriccio is a magnificently orchestrated piece [author's italics] is wrong.
		At the concert itself it was played with a perfection and enthusiasm the like of which it never possessed subsequently, even when led by Nikisch [one of the great conductors of that era] himself.
		The thematic material for the Capriccio espagnol was actually taken from a collection of authentic Spanish songs.

		As well as being a distinguished composer and teacher in his own right (he was to teach the young Stravinsky later in life) he also spent a lot of time orchestrating, arranging and completing works left incomplete by his colleagues, most notably Mussorgsky's 'Night on the Bare Mountain' and Borodin's opera 'Prince Igor'.
		Of his own works 'Scheherazade' and 'Capriccio Espagnol' are probably the most well-known.
		It has always been popular - the first rehearsal was constantly interrupted by applause from the orchestra, and the composer was so pleased about this that he dedicated it to the orchestra and included a list of all the players on the title page of the original score.

		"Capriccio Espagnol," the program opener, is a glittering grab-bag of Spanish-styled tunes conjured up by Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov, known for his raise-the-roof orchestrations.
		In the "Capriccio Espagnol," the fiendishly difficult solo violin passages will be performed by Elliot Markow, the orchestra's concertmaster.
		Though all the scores are proven crowd-pleasers, the most familiar one is "Night on Bald Mountain" by virtue of its constant use in films ranging from Walt Disney's Fantasia to Woody Allen's Stardust Memories.

		In answer to the critics and public opinion that the Capriccio is a 'magnificently orchestrated piece of music', he said this was wrong.
		Rimsky further explained, "The change of timbres, the felicitous choice of melodic designs and figuration patterns, exactly suiting each kind of instrument, brief virtuous cadenzas for instruments, and so on, constitute here the very ESSENSE of composition and not its garb of orchestration.

		These Rimsky-Korsakov pieces are played with technical perfection, but lack the warmth or enthusiasm that I have heard in other Teldec-recorded New York Philharmonic performances, most notably those of the Brahms symphony cycle and Dvorak's 9th Symphony.
		Only the Capriccio Espagnol is a passionate performance, but it falls short of the definitive Philips recording of the Rotterdam Philharmonic under David Zinman's baton.
		The last movement was too slow during the fast sections and too fast during the slow sections (like the ending).

		Rhythmic patterns abound in the first and third songs, and the pronounced use of oboe and flute emphasizes a musical quality that speaks of the Moors and Berbers who had once overrun Spain.

		At the rehearsal of the premiere performance of the Capriccio under the composer’s own direction (1887), the members of the orchestra could not refrain from applauding between the movements.
		Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) so appreciated this show of enthusiasm that he dedicated the composition “To the Orchestra of the Imperial Russian Opera House of St. Petersburg,” and the name of every member of the orchestra appeared on the published score.
		This piece will not be presented by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association this season.

		Conductors have been testing their mettle against the powerfl climaxes and colorful orchestral tapesty of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade since the days of 78 R.P.M. Mackerras joins a long line of revered conductors—including Stokowski, Reiner, Bernstein, and Ansermet—who have committed their interpretations to recording.
		The same composer’s Capriccio espagnol, composed only a year earlier, is an equally spectacular orchestral showpiece.
		Like Ravel’s Bolero, it came into being, in part, as an exercise in varied instrumentation.

		This is a case where the brevity of the work is a disadvantage as it is too short to warrant engaging a soloist for an orchestral concert, and fitting it in with another short concertante piece makes planning a concert much more difficult.
		The conductor also achieves lively results with Capriccio Espagnol; however this is very much an orchestral showpiece and comparisons with some famous recordings reinforce the impression that the Bergen Philharmonic is a competent rather than great ensemble.
		Similar remarks apply to the Russian Easter Festival Overture where the last drop of exoticism is lacking.
