Program Notes

When you say Mascagni you immediately think of Cavalleria rusticana. This work brought Mascagni overnight fame after his wife -- without him knowing -- entered the score in a composition contest and it won first prize. Cavalleria rusticana became an incredible success, overshadowing the premiere of his next opera, L'Amico Fritz. L'Amico Fritz can still be considered a successful opera, with its highlights being the Cherry Duet and this intermezzo, arranged by the Japanese Kimura.
