I read that the wonderful singer Flelicity Lott has at last recoreded
Cappricio.  Dopes anyone know who the conductor/orchestra/other
singers/record company are? I know that she is recording for Decca but
it would be surprising for them to re-record the opera so soon after the
Te Kanawa version.

My favourite Cappricio is the Janovitz/Bohm/BRSO on DG.  IMHO Schwartzkopf
sounds far too calculating and wordy on the rival Swallish EMI set.

Recordings of Flecity Lott I enjoy are her Strauss lieder on Chandos
(despite some rough support), the Vaughn Williams Sea Symphony (terrific
conducting by Haitink)and Schuman lieder with Graham Johnson accompanying
(Carlton Classics).
