Capriccio espagnol

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Seattle Symphony & Gerard Schwarz

Capriccio espagnol is an orchestral composition by Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, written in 1887. The piece draws on Spanish dance rhythms and colourful orchestration, featuring brisk, rhythmically driven movements and intricate instrumental writing that exemplify Rimsky-Korsakov's interest in orchestral colour and exoticism within his later output.
