Music reviews of Don Giovanni

Music Review: SITTING NEXT TO MOZART
Rating: 5 Stars

I just received this recording two days ago and I can't put it down. Let me start by saying I own one other recording (Harnoncourt with Gruberova and Hampson) and I thought that was a splendid recording. Now Im sold on Rene Jacobs. The highlight of this set is Rene Jacobs and the Freibruger Barockorchester. Absolute madness. I could not believe all the stuff I heard going on the orchestra. They create the right atmosphere and to support the title of my review, I felt as though I was sitting right next to Mozart himself, right there in the pit, I guess turning pages or something, because I certainly wasn't playing first violin.

The singers are all first rate. I was hoping for somemore heft and ressonance from the Commendatore and of course Alexandrina Pendatchanska as Donna Elvira is my favourite, a true tragicomic as Jacobs explains the character. I think her obsession with Don Giovanni is absolutely hillarious and sad at the same time. Suhae Im as Zerlina, I thought was a bit too light at first but she later grew on me. She has a strong sense of the text and creating fun and drama. Ragazzo as Leporello is totally suited to the role and Nikolay Borchev as Masetto can be compared to any modern day newly wed threatened by a rival 'heart-throb' like Weisser.

Jacobs was very wise in selecting Weisser for the title role with his bright, arrogant, vain baritone,(and I mean that in a very good way) which often sounded like a tenor. He brought a much needed energy to the role. Leporello, obviously older, felt exhausted in scenes with the Don and this is very realistic of such a pair. A young, carefree Cassanova and his older servant who just cant seem to keep up, however has no other choice but to hang around. To protect him or same him from himself I guess? Who can tell.

I had a little problem with Olga Pasichnyk as Donna Anna. I couldn't tell wheather or not she wanted to be a lyric soprano or a dramatic soprano, however, after repeated listenings, I found that she was just suited to the role. I mean, an aristocratic lady like herself, just witnessing the death of her father and torn between avenging his death and marrying her fiance, she would be abit stressed. Its a time when restraint and properness was essential amoungst the nobility. But she did sing abit under the note especially in Osai chi lanore. Finally, my buddy Kenneth Tarver. Well I must say, I was abit torn when I saw his photo in the booklet. Let me explain, I always thought Id be the black tenor that Rene Jacobs would select to sing his Don Ottavio. Seriously, a beautiful voice and I feel further encouraged to stick to the Mozart roles that I so enjoy. Mr. Tarver you are a true inspiration for an aspiring tenor like myself. Hopefully when Mr. Jacobs and Harmonia Mundi do their Die Entf?rung aus dem Serail, Id be Pedrillo to your Belmonte. With that, Im looking forward to the rest of the Mozart operatic catalog that Im sure Rene Jacobs is working on.
