  • 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

  • I would not mess with her

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

  • wow...:o

  • 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

  • @nestersg Certified Intergalactic!

  • 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
