5:11- finish Don Giovanni regains his senses (as his music and tone finally solidifies) and stands up to his accusers, they trade back and forth to an increased tempo as they don't back down either. he declares he will never be afraid of anything reenforcing his courageous nature and then it concludes. The amount of genius in that two minutes of music is astounding.
4:04-5:10 Amazing chromatic technique on display. 3 chromatic vocal passages, followed by a fourth played musically and picked up on the apex by the sopranos. Chromatic sections that begin with Don Giovanni & Leporello taking the scale to the apex, and descend with the vocals of the accusers. The anger of the accusers builds, Don Giovanni and Leporello's tone has shifted from confused to worried.
3:49 - 4:03 The righteous conviction of the accusers trades back and forth with the seesaw and confused tone and music of Don Giovanni and Leporello as they are caught off guard and are on the defensive.
I love Samuel Ramey's voice but although many find him to have sex appeal, I find that Thomas Allen and Thomas Hampson's Don Giovanni, especially Hampson, were far more sexy!
the last three minutes of this is the most ridiculous staging i've ever seen. completely unmotivated. no tension or conflict. BORING. excellent singing though. one of my favorite moments in mozart opera.
What a hilarious scene, at least the first part. The only names I know in opera are the ones that were still the 'classics' in the late '90's - Ramey, Upshaw, Te Kanawa. . Who are these new people?
That first part, it seems that the orchestra has the tune and the singers were given what might have been the base, only transposed to suit them respectively. One of my long time favorites. I used to play it on the piano by ear. Only I didn't know what work it was from. (By now I know) (5*)
If I was one of the angry crowd there I might just have let him be on his way if he hadn't tried to blame everything on his servant. Poor Leporello has been so faithful.
What else could the poor wretch expect from his master, who has already betrayed a man that considered him his friend (not to mention numerous women)?

I do not like ramey s' don, Siepi or Allen are much better, but furlanetto and the others are great.

Precious video for generations to come. The CD of this should be made available in developing countries.
