Losey's is a truly great take on this opera, with an ab-fab cast. Raimondi is the sexiest Don around; te Kanawa sings like an angel, Van Dam is subtle, expressive and enlightening in his interpretations; Moser is a semi-hysterical Donna E; Riegel is a wonderfully vapid Don Ottavio. And the scenery, right out of Palladio's playbook, is just right.
Overall it tells its age, but it's a wonderful expression of this great opera. Watch it all!

I just wish the audio could have been better. It sounds like they are singing in my bathroom. Such a wonderful cast and film should have had better audio.

@rumpranger65 The sound quality is good but not great. My main issue with the sound is that it is a quiet recording and the TV in the classroom is not loud enough to compensate.

Mozart must have been blessed by all the best spirits when he wrote this aria....
one of most favorite if not the favorite - if there is such a thing. Great Interpretation !

@stereomaxout I love my DVD of this. Still enjoy it.
And how come, so many conquests in Spain? It must have been before Franco. . .

@OspreyTherian I use the Losey film in my classroom: I've probably watched 50-60 times. I have even taken it home to watch once or twice!
