Mozart: Don Giovanni -

The ever fastidious and scholarly John Eliot Gardiner leaves no stone unturned as his ... more

project to record all of the mature Mozart operas
with  his period instrument English Baroque
Soloists arrives at the dramma giocoso that is Don
Giovanni. Gardiner rightly opts for the so- called
"Vienna" version, the last to have been performed
during the composer's lifetime, whilst via an
appendix he also offers two missing arias plus a 
variant account of the Don and Commendatore
confrontation from the earlier Prague version. No
less conclusive is Gardiner's hard-driven and
gritty  account of the whole, in which he elicits
chiaroscuro shading and sonority from an
ever-alert EBS. He is also well served by a crack
cast. There's a big- voiced Donna Anna from Luba
Orgonasova; a crisply enunciated Donna Elvira from
Charlotte Margiono, and an athletic and attractive
Zerlina from  Eirian James. Christoph Prégardien's
staunch Don Ottavio and Ildebrando D'Arcangelo's
sparring Leporello keep up the good work, leaving
the  stage clear for the Don himself, sung by the
American baritone Rodney Gilfry. Gilfry comes over
as forthright and full bodied, with a pleasing but
 unbooming chest voice; also he interprets the
role psychologically, making for an engaging
all-round showing. In fact Gardiner's entire
reading engages  with its questing veracity and
taut ensemble from singers and orchestra alike.
Finely recorded, lavishly presented, there
probably isn't a better period- instrument
Giovanni in the catalogue. --Duncan Hadfield

Melting in soft surrender to Mozart

Advantages: Fun, comic, lyrical
Disadvantages: Sung in italian

The Composer
Wolfgang Amadus Mozart was born in Salzburg on the 27th January 1756. A child protegy, he began composing from a very early age. He was at ease writing in every genre of music but it was in opera that Mozart’s chief passion lay. He composed Don Giovanni in 1787 whilst in Prague.

The Music
Don Giovanni is a comic opera dealing with the contemporary tensions of class and sex. Giovanni is a Spanish nobleman ...
...is Seville, Giovanni arrives masked persued by Donna Anna who he has tried to seduce. Her father hears her cries and is killed in a duel by Giovanni. The music falls into a dramatic silence followed by a trio of male voices baritone and bass which combine to express the sadness and shock of the death. Ultimately Giovanni is consigned to eternal damnation in a great scene where the statue of Donna Anna’s father, the man he has murdered comes to eat ... more
