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.Cavalleria rusticana spricht die Sprache von Mascagni. Mit diesem Werk wurde Mascagni buchstäblich über Nacht berühmt, nachdem seine Frau ohne sein Wissen die Partitur zu einem Komponistenwettstreit eingeschickt und diese dort den ersten Preis gewonnen hatte. Cavalleria rusticana wurde zu einem unglaublichen Erfolg, der die Premiere der folgenden Oper, l'Amico Fritz überschattete. Dennoch ist l'Amico Fritz eine gelungene Oper; zu ihren Höhepunkten zählen das Kirschenduett und dieses, hier von dem Japaner Kimura arrangierte, Intermezzo.
