Posted By: Vilboa

Date: Feb. 17, 2018

A live recording of Don Giovanni from the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, recorded on May 23rd 2013, featuring the 'Balthasar-Neumann Choir & Ensdemble', conducted & directed by Thomas Hengelbrock. Erwin Schrott performing in his most celebrated role, Don Giovanni. Featuring a stellar cast of singers – Erwin Schrott, Anna Netrebko, Luca Pisaroni, Malena Ernman. “Schrott creates Don Giovanni in all his malevolent glory — virile, confident, arrogant. He is bursting with animal sexuality, yet manages to hint at the manic obsession that drives the character. Stunning” (Opera Today).
[Schrott] looks wonderful, is a natural and extraordinarily gifted actor, and has so much sinister charm that one understands why no woman can resist him. He has a rich voice, with many subtle shades. This is a definitive account [of the title-role]” (BBC Music Magazine).
“This well-shot, telegenic production…underscores the opera's sexual brutality…[Schrott] oozes his trademark charisma. Luca Pisaroni shows why he's the Leporello of choice these days with a well-moulded baritone, Charles Castronovo sings Don Ottavio's difficult music with exceptional artistry and [Dragojevic] walks off with every scene she's in” (Gramophone Magazine).
