  • Stunning and I feel stunned. Almost incoherent. That's how this wonder leaves me! Mozart forever. I remember that this production was televised. Has 21 years passed by? That was the first time is saw DG and have seen many times since. Can anyone tell me if this can be bought on DVD please?

  • It has not been released on DVD.

  • definitivamente este papel en thomas no suena tan bien como el del conde almaviva. de todos modos me gusta

  • Bueno, en parte depende de la grabación de Nozze o de DG que escojas. Por ejemplo, en Le Nozze de Salzburgo de 1991, que también está en YouTube, tiene la voz un poco cascada.

    (En general, a mi me gusta por igual en los dos papeles.)

  • @MasterIsh91 I agree with you, the most vivid !!!

  • @SocrateAdmirer It has a few imperfections but as far as atmosphere and performance goes this is by far the best version on youtube.

  • Such an amazing aria from Don Giovanni!

    Such fantastic voices. I first head this while watching Sherlock Holmes 2: A game of Shadows.

  • the sound is untolerable F- ! and Commendatore is shaking voice like a retired person.

  • @carnivorousslushee23 Pretty sure he sang it correctly...

  • Either that fellow playing Leporello forgot that the line is "Ah, padron, siam tutti morti" or some annoying person changed it.

  • @zegermans750 I think it was the same stylist that worked for Dick Cheney

  • best interpretation i found -sound is really bad anyway... 

  • Do you not see? We are Damned.

  • @subzerovice Thomas Hampson. Or Bryn Terfel. :P
