Johannes Weisser (Don Giovanni), Marcos Fink (Leporello), Alexandrina Pendatchanska (Donna Elvira), Werner Güra (Don Ottavio), Malin Byström (Donna Anna), Sunhae Im (Zerlina), Nikolai Borchev (Masetto) & Alessandro Guerzoni (Commendatore) Freiburger Barockorchester & Innsbruck Festival Chorus, René Jacobs (musical direction) After the success of Così fan tutte and The Marriage of Figaro, René Jacobs' CD recording of this
centrepiece of the Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy offered us his reflections on Classical opera and
garnered serious acclaim worldwide. Performed at the Innsbruck festival in August 2006 and filmed in Baden
-Baden, this production is nourished by his thoughts on Don Giovanni as taboo-breaker but still respects
Mozart's intentions as closely as possible.
In the documentary Looking for Don Giovanni, the director Nayo Titzin follows the creation of this
production in the search for musical truth. A blu-ray version will be released later this year. “The Lacroix-dressed cast in Innsbruck performed as a true ensemble. Johannes Weisser was an energetic Giovanni, Marcos Fink a huge hit as the hapless Leporello. Alexandrina Pendatchanska fully inhabited the role of Elvira and Sunhae Im was a remarkable Zerlina, bringing a touch of wiliness to the character’s vulnerability.” Gramophone |

| |  | Mozart - The Last Concertos
Freiburger Barockorchester, Gottfried von der Goltz This recording is the last of the triptych of CDs that
the Freiburger Barockorchester has devoted to
Mozart's concertos. His final instrumental work, the
Clarinet Concerto, was written just a few months after
the last Piano Concerto, No. 27 in 1791.
In both cases, the performers have gone back to the original manuscripts to unearth the details of Mozart's
own performing practice. If his markings are followed precisely, as here, it is possible to rediscover his
fascinating variety of sonic perspectives.
Lorenzo Coppola completed his diploma in Classical clarinet under the guidance of Eric Hoeprich at the
Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Since then he has been one of the most sought-after clarinettists in the
field of historical performance practice. He has played with such ensembles as La Petite Bande, Les Arts
Florissants, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, the Orchestra of the 18th Century and the Freiburger
Barockorchester. Lorenzo Coppola also performs chamber repertoire with Ensemble Zefiro, Ensemble
Philidor, the Académie Sainte-Cécile, Harmonie Bohémienne and Düsseldorfer Hofmusik.
Undoubtedly one of the most prominent keyboard performers in the world,Andreas Staier embarked upon
a solo career in 1986 and, since then, his indisputable musical mastery has made its mark on the
interpretation of Baroque, Classical and Romantic repertoire. He has formed a highly successful trio with
violinist Daniel Sepec and cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras; they have recently recorded their first CD, of
Beethoven, for harmonia mundi.His extensive discography has won critical praise from the international
press, whether for BMG,Teldec or hm for whom he has released his last five recordings: Mozart's Sonatas in
two CDs; Haydn concertos with the Freiburger Barockorchester; Hamburg 1734, with the German
harpsichordist Christine Schornsheim; and, more recently, Beethoven's sonatas for violin and piano, with
Daniel Sepec performing on Beethoven's own instrument. In February 2007, and again with Christine
Schornsheim,Andreas Staier released a cd dedicated to a very special instrument: the Stein 'vis-à-vis’. |

Johannes Weisser (Don Giovanni), Lorenzo Regazzo (Leporello), Alexandrina Pendatchanska (Donna Elvira), Olga Pasichnyk (Donna Anna), Kenneth Tarver (Don Ottavio), Sunhae Im (Zerlina), Nikolay Borchev (Masetto), Alessandro Guerzoni (Il Commendatore) RIAS Kammerchor & Freiburger Barockorchester, René Jacobs If there is one thing that marks out René Jacobs’s approach to Mozart, it is the way he constantly asks himself questions
– and the specifically musical brilliance of the answers he comes up with. The success of his recent version of La clemenza
di Tito is proof of that! After Così fan tutte and Le nozze di Figaro, his recording of this centrepiece of the Mozart/Da Ponte
trilogy offers us the latest fruits of his reflections on Classical opera. Premiered at the 2006 Innsbruck Festival and recorded
shortly afterwards, this production is nourished by his thoughts on Don Giovanni as taboo-breaker and on a ‘physiology of
roles’ that respects Mozart’s intentions as nearly as possible.
Also available on SACD Mozart Don Giovanni (Mostly Mozart Festival, Barbican) "Regazzo's brilliant diction and timing put him in the first
rank…Pendatchanska's Elvira seemed in each of her appearances like a Fury descending not only on Giovanni, but on all the other characters too." Patrick O'Connor, Opera, September 2006 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
