Mozart - Overture to Don Giovanni

[Trulyloyale]

another awful & messy overture : mozart wrote only one good Opera, Le Nozze di Figaro, but all the rest is mediocre or just decent stuff !

I don't think Wolfgang Amadeus got even a 10% of what reached by Beethoven , Verdi , Rossini , Puccini or even Handel .

If we make a comparison with some divine overtures and sublime melodies by Verdi or Rossini, well there's no match , 'cos honestly mozart is a dull out of the massive propaganda in his favour .....

@Trulyloyale A matter of taste, surely.

Good to see and hear the wonderful Czech Philharmonic playing Mozart and conducted by the excellent Manfred Honeck. Thanks for posting thisl

[deandusk]

good energy, full of life!

however, this , i think, cannot explain the brutal sforzandi and sloppy quavers in the fast section.

[Jitpring]

Wonderful! Wonderful!! Wonderful!!!

i can feel the waves of the Venezian see inside my mind...

[StephenDeMille]

Wonderful. Is this is in the Tyl Theathe? Superb.

[1AdrianR]

That's not the traditional end of the piece, from all the recordings I have...

[HerrWarja]

Where is the operastage? Looks like an operahouse!

On a Technical point, This is the first Secular music to have a Trombone (Sackbut) scored into the work; which was originally done by Mozart. During this period, the Trombone was only used in the Church music as it was considered to be a sacred Instrument This is a marvelous interpretation of this, my favorite overture to my favorie Opera by WA Mozart. Such a dark and forboding story..

[kwireboi726]

This is wonderful! Manfred Honeck has done spectacular things with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. We're glad to have him in Pittsburgh.

Great interpretation, bravi !

A good place to listen to this music. This is the Prague's Tyl Theatre where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart conducted the premiere performances of two of his operas: Don Giovanni on October 29, 1787 (which Mozart himself conducted) and the opera La Clemenza di Tito (1791).

W tym praskim teatrze odbyły się dwie światowe premiery oper Mozarta: w 1787 roku opery "Don Giovanni" (którą Mozart osobiście przygotował i wystąpił w roli dyrygenta), oraz opery La Clemenza di Tito w 1791 roku.

[Dogaradodia]

Thanks! Didn't know Prague has so beautiful buildings! Want to go there someday. :-)

[ibk1980]

@Dogaradodia I might be wrong, but this look the teather in Prague where Mozart did the premiere of Don Giovann. It´s all covered in gray silk with golden stitch... They recorded Amadeus here also...
