Caprice is a Russian neoclassical ensemble from Moscow that was formed in 1996 by composer and conductor Anton Brejestovski. The group's music combines acoustic instruments such as harp, violin, and flute with electronic elements. Caprice self-released its debut album Mirror in 1996. The ensemble was known for its fantasy-inspired style as demonstrated in the albums Songs of Innocence and Experience (2000) and Elvenmusic (2001, which drew on poetry by J.R.R. Tolkien, William Blake, Robert Burns, and Percy Shelley. Later releases included Sister Simplicity (2004), Kywitt! Kywitt! (2008), and Six Secret Words (2009), which showed a shift toward more electronic influences and darker rock. In 2014, they released Girdenvodan Part 2. After a decade-long hiatus, Caprice returned in 2024 with Amargo, inspired by the poetry of Federico GarcÃa Lorca.
