Background: Capriccio was first staged in Salzburg in 1950 in a production subsequently seen in Vienna. Both there and in Salzburg, the Countess was for many years sung by Lisa Della Casa in one of the Strauss roles with which she was most closely associated.

The present live recording is the first official record of this ideal interpretation, with Georges Prêtre in the pit, vividly demonstrating his Strauss credentials. It virtually goes without saying that the singers who were engaged to appear with Lisa Della Casa were in every way her equals.
