SemperOpernball 2009 - Don Giovanni's Aria - Erwin Schrott

[justpeachy352002]

I just fell in love! He is so real. I like the casual entrance in such a stuffy, straight-laced setting. He is accessible as a human being and seems like a down-to-earth person under that penguin suit. I could get lost in that voice and those eyes for hours.

He rocks!

ho visto dal vivo Don Giovanni con Ghiaurov,Siepi...preferisco il silenzio.

[mozarteugenia]

@bodiloto @bodiloto Se Lei ha visto Ghiaurov e Siepi dal vivo, il silenzio trovera Lei tra poco tempo. A me Schrott piace, e non direi che il silenzio sarebbe quello che lei vuole (non) ascoltare in Teatro. L'Opera (come la vita) ha bisogno di cose nuove, e lui ci da al meno questo. Mi spiace il suo commento...assai.

[Karlemann66]

Che palle !! E poi dove hanno trovato questo mandolino. Una schifezza...

[garditamas1]

ez valami réémes....nincs sok köze a mozarti stílushoz!!!

[happyactor6]

I'm actually okay with the soft dynamics. This is, after all, a serenade. I just don't like how his dynamic changes are so sudden and....pounding. It doesn't make sense with the text.

[Belcore14]

Yeah he didn't sing it all too well this time... too relaxed. But hey, he's not in an opera house.

I heard him sing Giovanni at the Met last season and he did a pretty damn good job. Especially with this.

He plays the part well, too. This is how I imagine Giovanni - a boy who didn't grow up.

[egymagyar1111111]

he is nowhere in comparision to Siepi, who was the best Don even better than Pinza

[escamillo]

Er konnte bestimmt gar nichts vom Orchester hören!!

Schreckliche Idee was in der Staatskapelle zu singen!! Der Toreador Song war ebenso einfach miserabel.

[serenade00007]

Gorgeous!

[matthieusarah]

Sometimes I can't hear him at all!! I prefer Keenlyside in this part! Schrott is gorgeous (nobody can deny it) but he knows it too much. Keenlyside is just sexy

[Perfidiame]

He is full of himself, no passion in his voice for this song. Hands in pocket is okay for the part. He just doesn't have it. Sorry.

[humpelberry]

don giovanni was cocky, he just want to get all the girls without doing much for it. Thats y his hands are in his pockets, to show his noncalance. He has loads of passion in his voice by using the dynamics v gd. But ok everybody his opinion ;)

[lamarce3010]

Yes! Why so many "pianos". He was playing stupid there I think. He can do much better.

[2010odysseytwo]

He was totally out of tempo at the beginning ("deh vieni").

Too many pianissimos.

[skirnismal1979]

yes, i agree!

plus... it is rude to sing with the hands in the pocket

[AfroPoli]

This is the worst performance of this aria I have ever heard - AND seen. He looks like an arrogant, ignorant parvenu. He fits with Anna Netrebko.

[forallyouknow]

While I understand that it's an interpretative effect, I dislike his constant dips into ppp.

[kessukesekene]

wow, he is gorgeus!

[Chiliarches]

That, I think, is his main asset...he seems to only approximate pitches much of the time.
