| |  | This set contains the arias of both versions created by Mozart (Prague 1787, Vienna 1788)
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. |

Frank Martin, in the years immediately after World War II, to achieve an international reputation.
What is remarkable in this score is its extraordinary invention yet Martin does not totally avoid serialism. "This Berlin-based recording is simply stupendous…The beautifully nuanced recorded sound caps an essential release for anyone interested in the forgotten byways of mid-20th-century music."

electrifying sound, as do the impeccable RIAS Kammerchor, the silver-toned
soprano Carolyn Sampson, and mezzo Susan Parry, whose maudlin mother-ofthe-
bride is superb…Jan Kobow's Cantus Cancrizans is riveting."

Mark Padmore (Tito), Alexandrina Pendatchanska (Vitellia), Bernarda Fink (Sesto), Marie-Claude Chappuis (Annio), Sunhae Im (Servilia) & Sergio Foresti (Publio) RIAS Kammerchor & Freiburger Barockorchester, René Jacobs “René Jacobs’ splendid recording of this opera arrives after Charles Mackerras’ set featuring Magdalena Kozená. Here the singing honours are more evenly spread, and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra’s period instruments add terrific punch. The revelation is the Bulgarian Alexandrina Pendatchanska, jaggedly dramatic as Vitellia. Eloquence shines from Bernarda Fink’s Sextus, while Mark Padmore’s emperor is intelligent and human.” The Times | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
