She is a great actress. Yet, don't suffer the beauty of the aria for your acting. It just seemed too wild.

The best I've heard of this aria. I vote to name group of stars after Cecilia Bartoli - the Bartoli Constellation. Certified Intergalactic!

dislike, what's all that "air" supposed to mean? too much uncontrolled fury. I respect her but don't like her stylistic choices at all.

@thesir27 not to mention his musical sense of humor. he was mathematically perfect! my dream role one day is Leporello. I can't stop watching this. I just bought a recording of the opera directed by René Jacobs. it's brilliant. Cecilia always seems to up the notch every time though.

one of the reasons Mozart is so genius is that he could musically portray a vast range of emotions while still in the major key, where as most post-Classical music composers resort to minor keys way too much to communicate anger or despair (a cop-out). This piece is in a major key, yet it still sounds perfectly anguished/frustrated. A lot of people think of Don Giovanni as a dark, minor-key opera, but really there's only a few pieces that aren't major key

Consiglio piuttosto la Donna Elvira di Kiri Te Kanawa...a volte mi chiedo se certi ruoli mozartiani non siano stati scritti su misura per lei
Bartoli takes the crown! What a passionate, tempestuous, fiery version...this is just how Elvira ought to be sung - with a few other moments sung with more finesse, she is a volcano but she is also hurting and heart-broken because Don Giovanni doesnt return her love for him...Bartoli is magnificent here
