Wow, that was good, fast and scary...thank-you Mozart.
-
is it really played fast?? to me it actually sounds like it was played at normal tempo and then sped up
-
Absolutely stunning performance! It scare me all the time. The tempo and the sound of the orchestra is perfect! I want Mozart as Mozart not Wagner!
-
Although Jacobs' recording of Le Nozze Di Figaro is fair enough, his Don Giovanni album is not good. This is the worst Don Giovanni recording ever made and should be avoided at all costs. The pacing for this scene, the climax of the entire opera, is too fast. All sense of terror, severity and power is lost. The Commendatore does not sound like a horrifying avenging figure from Hell. The whole thing is a mess here. Stick to these 3 superior versions - Karajan, Bohm and, Giulini,

Beautiful! Ein Hoch auf Mozart!
-
too fast, were they hungry? XD
-
Mozart wanted the flutes to sound like wind? I've never heard/read that -- can you point me to a source? Thanks!
-
Not bad, but much too fast. Karl Böhm (1967) and Wilhelm Furtwängler (1954) are better in my opinion.

I love the tempi that Rene Jacobs picks...hopefully I'll be able to get the dvd of this sometime soon =)

It's too fast. Jacob goes too far here. The commendatore sounds as if he was made of feathers instead of stone. The faster tempo takes away DG's natural coolness in face of the statue. It works fine for the closing part though, but most conductors anyway do an accelerando there, and Jacobs, instead of holding the pace makes Ritenuto just before DG's last cry (second thoughts perhaps?) and that sounds very 19th century romantic version, which is suprising.

Totally agreed. Maybe I'll put up Giulini's :)

Ridiculously fast. All the excitement, feeling and terror is lost...

When the commander speaks, it is supposed to be frightening, and he just doesn't sound terrifying in this interpretation. I don't care that DG says he isn't afraid, anyone would be terrified in this situation but there is no sense of fear. And its not just this finale, from notte giorno faticar, the tweaks make it an odd production. I am a big Jacobs fan, but I am quite disapointed with this. For a good interpretation look to Giulini or Gardiner.
