About "Capriccio, Op. 85, TrV 279 / 9. Szene : R. Strauss: Capriccio, Op. 85, TrV 279 / 9. Szene: Das Hudigungsfestspiel, die grandiose 'azione teatrale'" by Arleen Augér
The 'Huldigungsfestspiel' from Capriccio is a miniature pageant, Strauss's homage to theatrical artifice. Augér's voice, though part of the ensemble, shines through the grandiose texture—a meta-theatrical wink. The music parades with pomp, yet beneath lies a tender melancholy for the fleeting nature of art.
