Amsterdam, Muziektheater, January 2007. José Fardilha (Leporello) tells Charlotte Margiono about the conquests of his "padrone". 640 in Italy, 231 in Germany (including probably the Netherlands and Belgium, but that is speculation on my part), 100 in France, 91 in Turkey, but in Spain they already amount to ... 1003!
Don Giovanni by W.A. Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte.

Stage direction: Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito
Musical direction: Ingo Metzmacher
Registration: NPS, Dutch Television

LEPORELLO
Madamina, il catalogo è questo
Delle belle che amò il padron mio;
un catalogo egli è che ho fatt'io;
Osservate, leggete con me.
In Italia seicento e quaranta;
In Almagna duecento e trentuna;
Cento in Francia, in Turchia novantuna;
Ma in Ispagna son già mille e tre.
V'han fra queste contadine,
Cameriere, cittadine,
V'han contesse, baronesse,
Marchesine, principesse.
E v'han donne d'ogni grado,
D'ogni forma, d'ogni età.
Nella bionda egli ha l'usanza
Di lodar la gentilezza,
Nella bruna la costanza,
Nella bianca la dolcezza.
Vuol d'inverno la grassotta,
Vuol d'estate la magrotta;
È la grande maestosa,
La piccina e ognor vezzosa.
Delle vecchie fa conquista
Pel piacer di porle in lista;
Sua passion predominante
È la giovin principiante.
Non si picca - se sia ricca,
Se sia brutta, se sia bella;
Purché porti la gonnella,
Voi sapete quel che fa.

  • Mozart originally wanted to make the opera about Leperello and call it Leperello- but the Court thought it would make more money as 'Don Giovanni' so the opera really is about Leperello! :D

  • @contrafagotto

    Passt schon - ist alles persönliche Geschmacksache!

    Auch ich mag übrigens Naturhörner ....

    Aber das ist eine Oper um einen wilden, windigen Lebemann und nicht um einen Jäger - die Bläser sollten sich somit ins Orchester integrieren und sicher nicht derart prominent herausgestellt sein ...

    Egal auch wie Hörner wohl zu Mozarts Zeiten klangen, ein Don Giovanni im Marschmusik Stil war wohl kaum in seinem Sinnen ...

  • I've seen this performance live. It is sung in a way the music demands, as a part of the orchestra. In most versions of this aria I've heard the singer tries to steal too much of the glory, sounding 'overdone'. Especially the long note in "maestosa" at 3:40 sounds so perfectly integrated with the orchestra !

    Glaubst Du? Hier kann man Naturhörner hören. Natürlich kann niemand sicherlich wissen, wie Hörner in Mozarts Zeit klangen, aber diese Hörner sind gerade solche Instrumente, wie in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Vielleicht bist Du an modernen Hörnern gewöhnt, deshalb fühlst Du das komisch. Mir gefällt es mit Naturhörnern besser, aber das ist vielleicht nur mein Geschmack...
