Please, don't forget that these two are not acting for the camera, which is the performance your seeing; they're acting for an entire opera house. All actions have to be 15 times larger.
Bartoli is such a good actress. Her face shows so many subtle emotions. She wasn't blessed with looks like Netrebko and others but she's far more entertaining!
Brilliant! I have an ornament, bought by a friend with no taste at all, of two pigs in a compromising position and the caption is 'Love ya? Of course I love ya!' Can't help thinking of this every time I watch this video! They both do this wonderfully well.
it might be cheesy because it is a caricature of a seduction, not just a seduction... with classic opera like this, i believe there is a certain amount of "cheesiness" that is good to have... similar in other classical and bel canto music, the overacting just kinda fits. does he forget the words at 1:06
@hideyourbuttchuck I think he does, although I didn't notice that before ...(oh well, I think the rest of the performance means that we can't criticize him for it)

Un récitatif merveilleusement expressif. Un duo qui nous submerge et nous transporte. Rien d'excessif ou de surjoué ici. Terfel est admirable de charme, de puissance de séduction, et techniquement époustouflant dans la maîtrise du phrasé. Bartoli offre une palette de nuances admirable. Ce duo est tout de contrastes et d'une richesse musicale éblouissante. Le parti pris d'un tempo inégal mais restant admirablement maîtrisé souligne la beauté de l'ensemble. Un pur moment de bonheur musical!
@Vivaldicellist His acting is ok, actually very original. Hers is VERY cheesy. When she says at 3:12 "I'd like to, but I wouldn't like to either" she first walks towards him, then walks away. Wow genius idea -.- cheeeeesy. Plus, her facial expressions! Gritty. 3:37 she looks like a small child whos asking her toy back
@Vivaldicellist i'm sorry to bother you with such stupid questions, but could you please explain to me the term for me unknown until now - "cheesy"? i'm not very good at english and i'm afraid i can't deduce it myself... thank you.)
Extraordinaria interpretación de dos excelentes cantantes-actores de opera. La ópera no es solo voz, es actuación, por más que se trate de una versión de concierto. La seducción de Terfel y el perfecto acople romantico de Cecilia nos hace vivir la magia de este hermoso duo. Todo lo contrario a la versión de esta misma pieza, por Cecilia con Thomas Hampson por culpa de este último que parece un témpano de hielo en escena. Veanlo en youtube.
I did not understand any Italian word but because of those artists and their performance I perfectly understood what was the aria about. Love Cecilia!
I would say that he is too confident but lacking that voluptuous slyness of the character, in spite of his unmatchable voice - Cecilia is just perfect !
Oh Bryn is brilliant as Don Giovanni. What a rogue...plucking the petals from the daisy as he plucks another woman away from her betrothed. "in Italy, a thousand and three"!
This is just so good! She's so shy at the beginning and by the end, she's the one chasing him! Now, that's seduction! Bryn and Cecilia, brilliant combination!
@dideoxynucleotide I agree. Hate the player, not the game, support the troops, condemn the war, etc. etc. Lorenzo Da Ponte made him do it. Poor, misunderstood Meatloaf.
When he takes her hands and they look eachother in the eyes near the beginning, and especially when he moves her hair out of the way and their faces touch during the "section", it doesn't seem just like Zerlina is in love with Don G. It seems that Cecilia is in love with Bryn!! Wonderful acting..or perhaps even real feelings :D
@TheMidgetRedhead Yeah, Cecilia definitely has the 'I've thought about this so many times before' look to her. Not the look of a younger woman overwhelmed by charm, but an older woman giving into something she knows is wrong and will end badly in spite of herself. For that matter Bryn seems really too sincere, though I guess a master seducer might just be a perfect liar. In any case, not worth it to trip over whether it's 'in character;' its a phenomenal performance.
This is the best Zerlinetta seduction I´ve ever seen eventhough it´s a concert version. Directors allways make Don giovanni too molesting and Zerlina often react very unrealistic for a yuong unexperienced girl on her weddingday. This is more credible. And they sing absolutely wonderful! Cecilias "andiam" at 5:11-5:18, OH! Perfect!
I agree.Probably it is due to the fact they have a good chemistry. Their voices match, their acting is equally good, and they are both very powerfull performers. thanks for posting
I always thought Bryn was a little to bass to sing this role to my personal taste, but he's actually doing a great job here.
I can't get my head around him being The Don though, he will forever be Masetto in my eyes. The first role I ever saw him perfrom was Masetto in a ROH performance with the REAL Don, Thomas Allen.
This is the best version I have heard! But: It is time to compose a modern "la ci darem la mano", with a stronger female part and based on a gender conscious perspective! I´ll start right away! /Kjell Perder, composer
I love the contrast: He's almost bored, picking petals from a flowing. It's all routine - she's just one more on the list. While, for Zerlina, this could be a life changing moment. These 2 pull it off really, really well.
well, in italian there should be an accent on the first "la", which stands for there. It should be "là ci darem la mano". Maybe Mozart wrote the first là without the accent, so we continued writing it like that because of the original lyrics. who knows...
What an intelligent and helpful comment. Thank you. You seem to know something about the topic and you share it with those like me who know much too little.
Your comment is a model for the rest of us. Again, thank you.
there's no accent. in spanish at least when a word ends in a vowel, the stress is in the last but one syllable without accent. I think in italian it's the same
This is fairly amazing. Terfel's seduction is really hypnotic. He doesn't overwhelm, he suggests. Bartoli's angst is assuaged to the point where her "andiam" becomes the more assertive one. The psychology here is wonderful - and so is the singing.
Sandrina, sexy is one thing, Sensual is better than sexy. This song isn't supposed to be sexy, but seductive. But some people don't understand that. Maybe you'll learn the difference one day.
Ahh I love this song so much, and they sing it so perfectly!! Bryn is just fantastic. His smug expressions, his rich tone. It's just great! And Cecilia plays the character so well with her voice and with her facial expressions. The tempo was dragging a little bit, but even still, this is my favorite rendition of this song ever! I love Bryn and Cecilia!!!
Me facina Cecilia!! Verdaderamente sabes lo que está cantando, lo transmite con su voz esplendida, y su actuación, es excelente, es una diosa del canto! Lloras, ries, te confundes, todo se entiende al mirarla y oirla.
Well, Bryn is not a bass, is he? He's actually a bariton. ;) Anyway, what gives Bryn that litlle extra, is the fact that his voice and technique comes naturally to him, and is his God-given talent, not something anyone has thaught him.
I am happy you have such an easy way to feel SO complete. On the contrary I don't love catching errors. Yet if to your ears that word sounds just as the real one, to an italian it sounds as if it was another and a nonsense. Moreover that dragged "FFSIETE" becomes other notes and delays the structure of the piece. Yes a real beautiful piece, but with an error.
Oh, come ON! If you know opera at all, you know that a recitative does not have an exact structure. I am so incredibly sick and tired of people who feel the need to point out small, insignificant mistakes in videos like these. The purpose of posting something like this is so people can enjoy it, not try to rip it apart.
Ok ok.....cool down, I am fine with this video :-). But do not take it too serious, you tube is not a theater, I did my idiot comment, but was not meant to upset anybody....
I think you have some validity in your comment. A performance is a performance and it is meant to be performed correctly, but I agree with flatt1942. Music is here for enjoyment, to express feelings other things can't, to have fun, to smile, to laugh, to feel alive. Mistakes are a part of life, and live performance, and it makes them special. We can all be critics to a certain extent, but never forget the true purpose of music, and try not to judge too harshly.
Bryn has a perfect italian pronunciation. Heprobably made a mistake because he was telling "voi non foste (the past of the verb to be) fatta per essere paesana" and then he corrected himself . It's a very light mistake.

Bryn Terfel should look up to Erwin Schrott. He's the best bass!
serenade00007 2 years ago
Well, Bryn is not a bass, is he? He's actually a bariton. ;) Anyway, what gives Bryn that litlle extra, is the fact that his voice and technique comes naturally to him, and is his God-given talent, not something anyone has thaught him.

I love these two. His voice is so rich. And he's good at that smug expressions, especially for someone with so sweet a face.
And her facial expression when she said 'andiam' the first time is so funny.

nice job! I, too, LOVE catching errors in a beautiful performance. it just makes my life SO complete!
flatt1942 2 years ago
I am happy you have such an easy way to feel SO complete. On the contrary I don't love catching errors. Yet if to your ears that word sounds just as the real one, to an italian it sounds as if it was another and a nonsense. Moreover that dragged "FFSIETE" becomes other notes and delays the structure of the piece. Yes a real beautiful piece, but with an error.

Oh, come ON! If you know opera at all, you know that a recitative does not have an exact structure. I am so incredibly sick and tired of people who feel the need to point out small, insignificant mistakes in videos like these. The purpose of posting something like this is so people can enjoy it, not try to rip it apart.

Ok ok.....cool down, I am fine with this video :-). But do not take it too serious, you tube is not a theater, I did my idiot comment, but was not meant to upset anybody....

I think you have some validity in your comment. A performance is a performance and it is meant to be performed correctly, but I agree with flatt1942. Music is here for enjoyment, to express feelings other things can't, to have fun, to smile, to laugh, to feel alive. Mistakes are a part of life, and live performance, and it makes them special. We can all be critics to a certain extent, but never forget the true purpose of music, and try not to judge too harshly.

Bryn has a perfect italian pronunciation. Heprobably made a mistake because he was telling "voi non foste (the past of the verb to be) fatta per essere paesana" and then he corrected himself . It's a very light mistake.
