Tadeo Giorgio -atto finale-Don Giovanni- Mozart

[lukeyluke71]

Some marvellous, spine-chilling singing...perhaps too slow, but certainly GRAVE. And the Don's pure arrogance is palpable.

[PrometheusZer00]

Who the hell yawned at 1:48??

[KASIMIR1851]

Da BRIVIDI

[paradoxicus]

@vonstolzing.Totalmente de acuerdo.Las primeras notas son una cima de la música de todos los tiempos.¡Mozart.!

[NYNEX1000]

Contrast in the three voices is quite weak, the execution lacks color. There is no range from the middle...the diction is stiff but the execution is flawless.

[vonstolzing1]

Es cierto que hay cierto ritmo lento, pero es sublime. Una de las cimas del cerebro humano. Esos dos acordes con los que comienza, que se presentan en la obertura, aún me ponen los pelos de punta.

Gracias!!!

[PiroozAzDirooz]

Hellish execution in slow motion with heaven present in form of music.

[oldman1911A1]

The Commander is at least half a pitch off on several notes. Deep, booming voice but off key. Sorry.

[Tyrfingr]

@oldman1911A1 Old recording that surely doesn't get across well enough to make it justice i suspect

[solomanhillman]

Powerful!!!!

[AngeloBencivenga]

che voce profonda e potente... questo sì che ti fa paura se viene a casa all'improvviso...

[charlycrett]

incredible! 

[Arqui3D]

This recording seems to have been the inspiration for the version in the "Amadeus" movie.

[marcellny]

Best commendatore ever!!! 'verraaaaaaaaaaai' is also probably the best 'verrai' ever sung by a commendatore.

[evb3r]

Is this production of Don Giovanni available on DVD? Very powerful and I'd enjoy see the entire production.

[piggypoo]

much better than any of the other videos....he's amazing. I'm not even an opera fanatic and I can clearly tell the difference.

[toujoursmanana]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN­NNNNNNNNNN GIIOOOOOOOOOVVVVAAAAAAAAAANNNN­NNIIIIIIIIII M'INVETASTE E SON VENUTOOOOOOOO (like*like*like)

[Berdjum]

Somptueux l'esprit d'une marche funèbre de Don Giovanni est là ... on sait que Don Giovanni, donc Mozart, donc , nous même, on va vers la mort, et que puisque l'on doit y aller, on y va en combattant, en héros, en fils indigne d'un père trop autoritaire, en assumant notre condition, nos convictions. Une de versions les plus troublantes de cette scène du commandeur. Les chanteurs semblent habités et presque transcendés. Surement un grand chef d'orchestre derrière cette version.

[freina3]

As an Italian, I can assert the acting of the Don Giovanni is perfect for the character. The arrogance and the pride are all over his face and body. That's what hit me the most. Apart from the fact that, if there ever was a God, would have the voice of the Commendatore, of course.

[srlballer23NBA]

The voices are great! In my humble, however, the tempo is too slow.

[LordHettrick]

@srlballer23NBA I believe tempi increased recently.  This is average for a 1950's version. See the Furtwängler 1954.

[SirGlennGould]

What an amazing Commendatore !

[AfroPoli]

Much better than the Moll-Ramey-Furlanetto version.

[imperiumdiaboli]

@AfroPoli And even that one's pretty good. Tadeo's voice is fricking amazing.

[4911dario]

@AfroPoli ....surely not if you compare Moll and Tadeo...Moll is also a beautiful voice but at the begining Moll sings Don Giovaaaaaani...with one "n"...instead... Don Giovaaaaaannnnnnni... with "two n"...detail... but detail very important...

Of course Moll is German...but for a professional singer it's a ...fault...

[4911dario]

@4911dario ...sorry AfroPoli...I have not seen the "than" in your comment...sorry and of course I totally agree with you...Ciao.

[marcellny]

@4911dario yeah dude but protti says gia'm'ai... instead of giammai in non l'avrei giammai.... and he is italian.

[marcellny]

@4911dario yeah dude but giovanni says gia'm'ai... instead of giammai in non l'avrei giammai.... and he is italian.

[4911dario]

@marcellny ...Hello dear Marcel...Thank you for your comment I appreciate a lot and I totally agree with you.....but Gabriel Bacquier (Giovanni) is a Frenchie...ahahahahah...

[marcellny]

@4911dario Thanks!!! not sure why i thought or read that that was aldo protti... which was odd given the voice and his pronounciation. indeed bacquier was no italian :)

[Jextxadore]

What's this aria called?  Or does anyone have the text for it?

[darwinism14]

@Jextxadore Commendatore LA STATUA Don Giovanni a cenar teco m’invitasti e son venuto! DON GIOVANNI Non l’avrei giammai creduto; ma farò quel che potrò. Leporello, un altra cena fa che subito si porti! LEPORELLO Ah padron! Siam tutti morti. DON GIOVANNI Vanne dico! LA STATUA Ferma un po’! Non si pasce di cibo mortale chi si pasce di cibo celeste! Altre cure più gravi di queste altra brama quaggiù mi guidò! ...

[Jextxadore]

@darwinism14 Thanks!

[LordHettrick]

@Jextxadore Don Giovanni, A Cenar Teco. Don Giovanni, in mockery, invited the Commendatore's statue (Il Commendatore was killed by DG in Act 1) to dinner. In this aria, the Commendatore shows up, inviting in his turn DG to dinner (death). DG accepts, against the counsel of Leporello. He is then ordered by the Commendatore to repent, which he stubbornly refuses, before being carried off-stage by the demons into hell. For subtitles, see the Kurt Moll version by Onegin65.

[adamsontwo]

Could it be that -especially around the beginning- there is a slight conflict between Giorgio and the conductor about who is ruling the tempi?

[Bobofwestoregonusa]

This may be the best version on youtube.

[Chiliarches]

Who is Leporello?  He's great...

[hubcity1981]

Ok, who is this cast? The Leporello just sang a high A on an "ee" vowel. Not to mention his awkward body position while singing it. And sang it effortlessly at 6:10. Wow didn't see that coming. And Giorgio is awesome.

The Drama giocoso.... musically this is Mozart's FINEST opera. So much depth and texture in the orchestration...

[YadelStip]

@hubcity1981 This comes from the great Rolando Panerai... and it's of course absolutely not in the score!

Don Giovanni is sung by Gabriel Bacquier.

[saintsaens21]

@YadelStip Its a stunning feat, but its not Rolando Panerai.

[andrespaola]

la mejor interpretación del commendatore sin duda!!

[mw6324]

One of the best (if not the best one) commendatore's scenes I've seen.Tadeo Giorgio is the best and this recording historic.Thank's

[paradoxicus]

¡La perfección!.

[jomoses07]

such power and resonance...

[meistersinger92]

does anyone know the cast here?

Il Commendatore is absolutely huge.

[timesman2]

When was this recording made?

[tantemitzi]

the best commendatore i've ever heard. and - you might call me old-fashioned - i love the static performance. space for the music to unfold it's beauty and power...

thank you!

[jupites]

Absolutely fantastic!

[ubedajils]

Quién es el cretino que ha sobregrabado esos SÍ, SÍ... absurdo!

[mitosis123]

@ubedajils

Leoporelo, el sirviente. He leido muchas críticas al respecto. Interrumpe por completo el duo entre El Comandante y Don Giovanni.

[8Glumdalclitch]

fantastic

[pondrthis]

This Leporello is a G, yo. 7:17, right at the end, he belts it all out.

[prigese]

@dereh... si, penso sia una scelta di vocale. La voce sviluppa degli armonici colossali!

[miguelmouta]

Invite him for dinner, by thoughts, words and acts. And he should come, in a way

no one can perceive, but Your perception should eternally taste.

[mozartjpn137]

Superb!

[leomulder]

Comendatore's voice is very nice, but his tempo feeling is just awful.

[leomulder]

Who is the conductor here?

[prigese]

La voce del Commendatore è stupenda!

[derekNb02]

si bella interpretazione... da notare che ha detto ''cibo eterno" in luogo del consueto "cibo celeste"... gli veniva meglio la o !?

[ezev8logos]

amaizing comendattore

[mcallen83]

Whoa, such a voice from Commendatore. The pace is much slower than others I've seen on youtube.

[billyb8]

But the articulation is wonderful. Even my German can keep up.

[showjumpersam]

Have a listen to Samuel Ramey singing the Commendatore role with Moll as Don Giovanni. That too is slow and excellently done.

[bassfanne45]

@showjumpersam , Don't you mean with Ramey as Giovanni and Moll as Leporello. If there is a version with them reversing roles, I don't know about it...and would like to hear it.

[OlDoinyo]

Vocally, this is a knockout performance, one of the best of this scene I have ever heard. The staging is a bit static by modern standards, of course, although the camera work is excellent.

[lesterdiamond5]

I love this genius Mozart!

[BRpablito55]

Leporello ABSOLUTELY is not Rolando Panerai.

It seems to be Renato Capecchi...

[markcom808]

I've been watching the Kurt Moll performance, they're both superb, but it seems to me that Giorgio sings more from his throat resonators and Moll uses more of his sinus resonators. Any opinions?

[OlDoinyo]

@markcom808 In this tessitura, the wavelength of the fundamental tones is measured in meters; as few sinuses are more than 10cm long, it is hard to see how anything but the highest harmonics (8th order and up) of the voice could pick up much reinforcement from sinus resonance. So it boils down to the importance of those highest harmonics. I do not speak from knowledge, but I suspect they are not terribly important.

[78timothy]

Even through the magic of the Television "Orthocon Ray Tube" and rather thin mono audio, from this early television broadcast, thisperformance is absolutly gripping the Comandetore is absolutley gripping. What performance is this from? Please advise

[rezila]

ahh, thank you.

panerai sounds very "profondo"!

[unc7480]

I know i've commented once already, but I keep coming back to it again and again- it's like listening to a thunderstorm roll in off the ocean. What power, depth of tone and WHAT VOWELS. I would trade every opera i've ever been to to have witnessed this.

[gmonkey808]

Me also.

only 13,000 views.

Its our secret.

maybe the greatest of all time.

[saintsaens21]

Ha ha, me too, I may have seen this one ten times, the voice of Georgio Tadeo simply kills me every time, it's so incredibly rich and vibrant.

[paradoxicus]

El gran "basso" Tadeo Giorgio,demuestra que el talento interpretativo y la voz esta mas alla del tiempo y la moda.¡Impresionante!.

[rezila]

who are the other singers?

[nnmakowska]

Gabriel Bacquier (Don Giovanni) and Rolando Panerai (Leporello), I suppose.

[miguelmouta]

Great Version. Great voices. A lesson of interpretation . With not so expensive set. ( talent superates all ).

[TenoreRobusto1347]

No, hard work superasses all... unsuccessful talent is so common as to be a proverb. Hard work and talent together, though, are omnipotent.

[TomChmelar]

Leporello... god.

[1379852456]

haha Leporello XD

[msumuel]

Nice high A Lep!

[Slayerplsko]

Amazing voice! So haunting!!!

[gmonkey808]

astounding

[tdxhistory]

That character scares the crap out of me. Dang it must have been amazing to be at this opera at the time - when common people had been bombarded with the graphcs and stero of todays media.

[spaniarddamnit]

im sure they cried themselves to sleep only half aware that they had just witnessed a masterpiece unparalleled

[kwakos22]

Amazing version!!

[longlifeluke]

dei veri MAESTRI...assolutamente!

[IW2GIN]

when was this recorded?

[unc7480]

This is a big, big voice... so round and resonant that it seems you could weigh the notes in a basket. How amazing I have never heard of him...

[nakaza3421]

Wow this is really old but very good.

[aguirre79]

Meraviglioso...uno dei migliori mai incisi.

Difficile trovare bassi di questo livello ultimamente.

Forse l'unico in attività ancora a questi livelli è Mario Luperi.

[tnbm1976]

Increible, enorme. Gracias por subir este video

[doncarloredo]

Lo mejor de lo mejor un gran maestro voz privilegiada una tecnica gradiosa Tadeo Giorgio maestro de maestros

[amoxtlacatl]

Tadeo Giorgio, una delle voce di basso più belle ch'io abbia mai sentite !!! Brillante nel centro, negli acuti e nei gravi. Brillante e profonda. Ideale !!!

[maryklax]

Great. You know which is the year of this performance?

[katield2008]

AMAZING!

[LardoDiColonnata]

Probabilmente questo video, così come l'altro con Tadeo e Bacquier, provengono dalla stessa produzione, però qui Leporello non è Panerai - come appare chiaro confrontando i due video.

Tadeo resta immenso, ma continua a sbagliare le parole nello stesso punto... bizzarro...

[perhegg]

fantastic performance

[Corrado7mari]

At 1:44 he sings 'cibe eterno' instead of 'cibo celeste', thus ruining the rhyme with 'gravi di queste'. But great voice!

[OLAPuTiPuTi]

Credo che abbiano prestato più attenzione alla fonetica rispetto alla fedeltà assoluta del testo, infatti "eterno" con la sua O finale è molto più cupo di un "celeste" con la sua E

[jhvorotin]

This Giorgio Tadeo is amazing. I thought only Kurt Moll was master in the role. Tadeo's vowels are so bright, exellent legato line which is key here.

Regarding the high A at 6:15, it is useless and pure showing off by Leporello. He's just secundary in this scene, which is primarily a duet!

[BariTenoreDram]

eh infatti è suo il si naturale...bello e pieno ... poi come fai a sentire un LA non lo so...quello è proprio si...ma insegna tadeo?

[valholl82]

Facciamo a capirci: La nota emessa a 6 minuti e 16, che sia un la o un si non mi interessa, non è certo di Tadeo, sono pronto a scommetterci le palle. Non ha niente a che fare con la sua vocalità. A me sembra palese che la faccia sto Leporello che, ripeto, non so chi sia...

[BariTenoreDram]

allora termini più moderati ;) in ogni caso...se te lo dice anche quello che ha messo il video (sono i figli di Tadeo) che l'ha emessa lui....forse è così?

[OLAPuTiPuTi]

6:16 "si si" lo cantano entrambi: il commendatore si tuffa nel registro grave, mentre Leporello lo esegue con un acuto molto espressivo, una sorta di ultimo grido per salvare il proprio padrone (che ovviamente copre la voce tombale del commendatore).

Basta guardare il video in ogni caso per rendersene conto :)

[lyricsynergy]

Tadeo è un Commendatore mitico ma Gabriel Bacquier qui fa schifo. Lui sembra annoiarsi. Non capiamo che cavolo Panerai sta facendo.

[valholl82]

Insisto nel dire che qui Leporello non è affatto Rolando Panerai...

[BariTenoreDram]

intanto tagliati le palle allora ;)

[ArtemisDEfes]

Tadeo is Greate!

[kazimierzmichalkiwic]

panerai is leporello and baquier as don giovanni

[boromica]

they sing so well...

which production is that?

[BariTenoreDram]

non ci credo Tadeo prende il si naturale? tadeo hit the high B ?

[valholl82]

Se ti riferisci a quel "si, si" she si sente attorno ai 6min 16',a me pare che sia Leporello sai. Poi non mi sembra neanche un Si naturale, ma piuttosto un La naturale.

Sono convinto, in fine, che Leporello qui NON sia Panerai. Nell'altro video con Bacquier e Tadeo, sempre nella stessa scena, Leporello è interpretato da Panerai, ma quì deve essere un altro di cui ignoro il nome.

[mggaemarco]

Ciao Valholl82, guarda che il si naturale è di Tadeo, se riesco vi metto a disposizione tutta l'opera.Appena trovo il modo o il luogo.

[BariTenoreDram]

wao outstanding Tadeo who is don giovanni and leporello ?
