Mattia Battistini - 'Fin Ch'han dal Vino' from 'Don Giovanni' (1901)

[RemzofFrance]

c'est un "live", et le public demande un bis ! Comme quoi le goût évolue, une telle interprétation serait sifflée de nos jours. Sûrement une voix splendide mais l'enregistrement n'en a pas conservé beaucoup...

very funny

Monstrueux; vainqueur du mauvais goût et de la bêtise musicale:Une troisième peut-être?..

Unorthodox Mozart singing based on modern taste; but I'm not sure modern taste is always the best guide. And, anyway, who cares when the singer is the great Battistini! Thanks so much for sharing this with me.

[MrCafiero]

He was great.

[hobo1975]

he might have worked with people who knew mozart,or students of people who knew mozart.

[Amicofritz889]

ESILARANTE!

This is an important recording first because nobody sings Mozart like this anymore, and second because of the "bis, bis" person.

Il ritmo è fantastico. Sembra samba! Mi domando se questo genere di libertà ritmica fosse veramente la prassi o se semplicemente non avesse studiato il pezzo abbastanza.

[cornucopia2]

Inascoltabile, veramente un canto osceno. Probabilmente era ubriaco... Bisogna sgonfiare questi miti!

I think it sounds great for 1901. It was not unusual on very early records for the record company employees to applaud and yell Bravo.

@merrihew

...especially if it was a very short aria!

Victor Maurel manages to sing 'Quand' ero paggio' from Falstaff three times on one of his recordings.

This is the older recording I ever heard. Thanks for upload!
