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 “The sets are extremely simple, the voices not powerful but fresh, and there's a spontaneity about most of the show.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2008 *** |
