Pure music. Kinda like Mozart himself. Dude had a feeling for music that many (not all, but many) modern performers fail to capture. I tip a hat to people like Imogen Heap, Vienna Teng, and even Buckethead for making actually amazing music.
@Shachar Har-Shuv Nah, Commendatore and Leporello are almost always cast as basses. Donnie is written for a baritone but can be cast as high as lower tenors and can be handled by lower basses.
There is the wonderful story of Don Giovanni being performed at the Wexford Opera Festival in Ireland and at the end of this scene where the Don descends into Hell, the stage lift sticks and the music ends with half of the Don still visible. The singer demanded that the lift be raised up, and they try again and the orchestra, chorus, Commendatore and Leporello, whip up the wonderful music and all sing their parts again and the Don descends once again and the lift sticks. When the music ends, an Irish voice at the back of the theatre shouts out "Heaven be praised, Hell is Full".
Listening to the finale of Mozart's Don Giovanni, we have the confirmation that we are faced with an immortal piece. It produces very current sensations, with notes and rhythms that could have been written today. The apotheosis of music and - at the same time - the beginning of a new era.
See how Don Giovanni maintains his defiance until he takes the Commander's hand. Then the power of God's judgment is revealed and he can't uphold his illusion of courage. His pride collapses but it is too late because he never would have regretted his sins without the experience of absolute fear. Atonement is out of reach the moment he realizes his need for it.
I saw Don Giovanni in London in 2022 for the first time. The production was brilliant and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entirety of Act 2.
It's the greatest second half of anything ever created -- the way things fall apart so perfectly, one collapse after another. I think Figaro is the greatest first half of anything, and in a way they form a duo, to me.
I grew up taking classical music which I used to think was so lame and now I realize how lucky I was! It has been the joy of my entire lifetime. We need to keep classical music alive forever. It has a wonder and a depth that all future generations should be able to experience.
My mother used to drive me nuts with her classical music. Many years later I am a patron of the local Symphony Orchestra for many years. Mama has long since passed, but I know she is pleased to have given me the bug. Mozart is a rock star!
L'un des sommets absolus de l'oeuvre de Mozart, et de toute la musique. Une impressionnante progression vers l'inexorable. Une scène qui marque même si on se sent détaché, en dehors du drame.
je mets un like pour qu'un commentaire en français émerge et je suis d'accord avec toi sur le fond. Quand je vois les adaptations contemporaines qu'on se tape à Paris ces 5 dernières années j'ai envie de vomir !
Bonsoir, je cherche cette version qui pour moi est une des meilleures interprétations pouvez-vous me donner le nom des interprètes et de la symphonie. Merci beaucoup. Cordialement.
@@mryellow8690 Il me semble que c'est la version du Met en 2011. Štefan Kocán est le Commandeur, Mariusz Kwiecień Don Giovanni, Luca Pisaroni Leporello. Il est possible de louer la retransmission sur le site du Met, si comme moi, vous êtes curieux de voir l'intégralité de la mise en scène.
Don Giovanni est d'emblée une oeuvre magistrale dans laquelle aucun espoir n'est possible pour le terrible séducteur ! ce qui conduit Don Giovanni sur les sentiers larges et spacieux de la perdition c'est l'orgueil, l'arrogance et le caractère impardonnable de ses actes : c'est un manipulateur conscient de l'être et son refus de toute rédemption est indissociable de sa vanité ! c'est une oeuvre majeur que le mélomane se doit d'écouter attentivement !
This scene gave me chills. The directing was superb. The acting great. Singing phenomenal. Luca's Leporello offered very much needed comic relief at the "he can't, he's busy" part.
~ Il Commendatore Don Giovanni, a cenar teco m’invitasti, e son venuto. ~ Don Giovanni Non l’avrei giammai creduto, ma farò quel che potrò! ~ Leporello, un’altra cena fa’ che subito si porti! ~ Leporello (mezzo fuori col capo dalla mensa) Ah padron, siam tutti morti! ~ Don Giovanni Vanne, dico... (Leporello con molti atti di paura esce e va per partire.) ~ Il Commendatore Ferma un po’. Non si pasce di cibo mortale chi si pasce di cibo celeste. Altre cure più gravi di queste, altra brama quaggiù mi guidò! ~ Leporello La terzana d’avere mi sembra, e le membra fermar più non so. ~ Don Giovanni Parla dunque: che chiedi, che vuoi? ~ Il Commendatore Parlo, ascolta, più tempo non ho. ~ Don Giovanni Parla, parla, ascoltando ti sto. ~ Il Commendatore Tu m’invitasti a cena, il tuo dover or sai; rispondimi: verrai tu a cenar meco? ~ Leporello (da lontano, tremando) Oibò! tempo non ha, scusate. ~ Don Giovanni A torto di viltate tacciato mai sarò! ~ Il Commendatore Risolvi! ~ Don Giovanni Ho già risolto. ~ Il Commendatore Verrai? ~ Leporello (a Don Giovanni) Dite di no! ~ Don Giovanni Ho fermo il core in petto: non ho timor, verrò! ~ Il Commendatore Dammi la mano in pegno! ~ Don Giovanni Eccola!

Che inferno! che terror! ~ Leporello Che ceffo disperato! Che gesti da dannato! Che gridi, che lamenti! Come mi fa terror! (Il foco cresce;Don Giovanni si sprofonda.) ~ Don Giovanni Ah! - (Resta inghiottito dalla terra.) ~ Leporello Ah! -
I've always thought it was weird for the Commendatore to say "Cos’hai?" ("What's wrong?") after Don Giovanni complains about the hand grip. If I was directing, I'd give that line to Leporello.
@@NewMusicWeekly Leporello would say "cos'avete" instead of "cos'hai" to Don Giovanni, to ask him "what is wrong." Which wouldn't rhyme with the response "che gelo è questo mai." So one would have to change the libretto.
In Australia, it's always ended with a silly sextet where the rest of them sing about what they are going to do now without him. Would love to see it just end like this.
Excellent ! Un affrontement sans pitié, voix de basse et de baryton à la note près ! Merci pour cette publication, nous en manquons cruellement de cette qualité en France, sans parler des mise en scène ternes, tristes...
Pour les prix pratiqués par l'Opéra de Paris, ca vaut presque la peine de se payer un aller-retour en train et une nuit d'hôtel pour aller à l'Opéra de Francfort. J'y ai vu une version mémorable de Jules César en Egypte de Haendel en 2012 et d'autres productions elles aussi superbes.
Si l’Opéra de Paris continue ainsi, il coulera. Il nous reste heureusement des documents et vidéos splendides d’une époque magnifique. Et c’est une ancienne Danseuse qui écrit...😢
This is the best video version I've seen on this scene... flawless. I saw the opera a couple years ago in Toronto and it was stage badly... no ghost, no demons... and Don didn't even disappear through the floor boards, he was still on the floor in the next scene where they the people are saying,,, where is Don... incredibly unspooky... and near halloween..
The Canadian Opera Company is a disgrace. Half of their stagings are garbage, and now they have gotten into rewriting/restaging librettos because they're politically incorrect. (The latest casualty is Turandot--there are some articles about it. They also managed to turn Seraglio from a comedy into a fairly dark drama.) The singing and orchestra are finel, but the stagings are so hit and miss now. If you happen to get this message, Opera Atelier is playing it for a few more performances and I highly recommend it! (THEIR only fault is that they use historical instruments, which I don't like, and the conductor goes through some things at breakneck speed, destroying the drama in this particular scene. But I guess nothing is perfect.)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart a fost un compozitor austriac, unul din cei mai prodigioși și talentați creatori în domeniul muzicii clasice. Anul 2006, cu ocazia jubileului a 250 de ani de la nașterea compozitorului, în Austria și Germania a fost cunoscut ca „Anul muzical Mozart”.

When Beethoven travelled to Vienna around 1786, he met Mozart briefly. More did not come off the meeting because Beethoven was only in Vienna for a few weeks before having to return to Bonn due to his ill mother. But also, Mozart's wife was sick at the time and Mozart was thick deep in composing "Don Giovanni" so the maestro didn't have the time/energy to spare. Beethoven likely later saw "Don Giovanni" performed in Bonn.
Having sung THE COMMENDATORE a few times myself in the days before Super Titles, I always thought that LEPORELLO should sing “ What’s wrong” & not the Statue. Thanks for pointing that out Mr. D!
Emma Iadanza I wish I saw this live. The story behind this amazing opera is so beyond beautiful. This was such an important opera for Mozart for some personal reasons ( you'll find out if you study his life). This is so far the best performance of this wonderful opera. Love it
Thanks for sharing the name of the Opera House. I discovered I could rent stream this version of Don Giovanni. It is a magnificent performance. Thanks for sharing www.metopera.org/Season/On-Demand/opera/?upc=811357014837
I’ll never forget my first time seeing this. I could feel the intense heat of the fires from all the way in the back of the grand tier. In fact, it felt like I was standing right next to a bonfire. Can’t imagine what it was like onstage!
Спасибо. Я благодарна за возможность посмотреть отрывок из замечательной оперы Дон Жуан. Потрясающее и внушительное исполнение арий Дон Жуана и Командора.
Video from the MET : Mariusz Kwiecień (Don Giovanni), Luca Pisaroni (Leporello), Stefan Kocan (Commendatore) ; directed by Michael Grandage ; conducted by Fabio Luisi. 2011.
This was a really well done version of this scene, and I especially like that the Commendatore was not so stiff and was genuinely menacing. This is probably the best Commendatore of the ones that I have seen.
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music. (The Merchant of Venice, 5.1.91-7)
Exceptionnel. J'aurais aimé que les acclamations ne soient pas coupées à la fin. C'est un moment où on applaudit pas normalement mais la performance était tellement incroyable que le public n'a pas pu résister.
Lo que más disfruté de este vídeo, además del efecto del fuego y las voces del coro de demonios, fue la ovación del público. ¡Maravillosos los aplausos!
I remembered I watched this master piece like 9 years ago and I forgot where to find it. Here I am..So happy to find it again and definitely not gonna forget to save it this time !
Je suis d'accord, j'aurais bien aimé voir la version complète de ce spectacle. Cette version du Commandeur est tout simplement effrayantes et les décors formidables.
I always though the opera would've been so much more powerful if mozart had ended it entirely with this piece and not the upbeat D major song that concludes it all.
The D-major ending is to force us into thinking that this is a dramma GIOCOSO. You know, "il dissoluto punito", happy ending and stuff. But really. When the time for the "happy" sextet at the end comes I'm still drowning in my own tears and this is just cruel. I'm dying out of distress and they are trying to tell me "hey, a happy ending yay" hell no it's not happy oh my god
Many years ago I was told or either I read that the inclusion of the last segment had to do with how the performers were paid. It had to do with their appearance at the end of the opera. I have no idea if this is true or not and in some ways it does not make sense to me with my 21st century sensibilities.
It can work if the conductor has enough sense to wait a decent while before launching into the "happy ending". Probably the crew want extra overtime if things go on past bar closing time, so keep it moving boys, okay?
I couldn't agree more! I think the D major silly ending completely wrecks it. The current ROH performance tries to get round it by keeping DG on stage and having the chorus off stage but there is something still amiss I think.
Quadro di rara Potenza. Musica e libretto superbi. Grande interpretazione dei cantanti / attori. Il CONVITATO EFFICACISSIMO anche come presenza scenica. Stupendo
It was the Met Live in HD Broadcast from last year. The production is still running regularly at the MET, but there has not been a commercial release of this yet; maybe in the future.
That, my friends, is why we go to the opera.
@silverbud Shut up.
Exactly... we saw Don Giovanni at the Met last winter. It did not disappoint.

This is why you are careful as to whom you invite for dinner.
I've heard it a thousand times and I it still gives me chills every time. One of the best things written by Mozart.

There is something so powerful about the first delivery of "Don Giovanni". Chills.
yup, it's like the when you make fun of your boss
only to realize they overheard you and now they are in your cubicle
Yeah the way he said it sent chills down my spine!!! He knew he was in trouble
Mozart what a genius to create this spectacle
There is not a tenor or soprano on that stage. It's 2 basses and a baritone going at it. I love this...
Stunning
Damn straight!
aren't they all baritones? At least leporello and giovannie

His pride collapses but it is too late because he never would have regretted his sins without the experience of absolute fear. Atonement is out of reach the moment he realizes his need for it.

Quelle magnifique interprétation. J'ai des frissons dans le dos à chaque fois, la musique avec cette scène m'emporte
I saw Don Giovanni in London in 2022 for the first time. The production was brilliant and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entirety of Act 2.
It's the greatest second half of anything ever created -- the way things fall apart so perfectly, one collapse after another. I think Figaro is the greatest first half of anything, and in a way they form a duo, to me.
I grew up taking classical music which I used to think was so lame and now I realize how lucky I was! It has been the joy of my entire lifetime. We need to keep classical music alive forever. It has a wonder and a depth that all future generations should be able to experience.

Why did you think it was lame?

Meglio rock

I’ll never forget my first time seeing this. I could feel the intense heat of the fires from all the way in the back of the grand tier. In fact, it felt like I was standing right next to a bonfire. Can’t imagine what it was like onstage!
Спасибо. Я благодарна за возможность посмотреть отрывок из замечательной оперы Дон Жуан. Потрясающее и внушительное исполнение арий Дон Жуана и Командора.
Video from the MET : Mariusz Kwiecień (Don Giovanni), Luca Pisaroni (Leporello), Stefan Kocan (Commendatore) ; directed by Michael Grandage ; conducted by Fabio Luisi. 2011.
Commendatore is a singer from the Slovak Republic - Stefan Kocan. It is perfect.
Much much more than perfect.
Well done!!!
Wow! How have I not seen this version before?!
What a fantastic rendition!
Greetings from Bertramka, Smichov, Prague
This was a really well done version of this scene, and I especially like that the Commendatore was not so stiff and was genuinely menacing. This is probably the best Commendatore of the ones that I have seen.
That is exactly how this scene should look!
Amadeus movie brought me here,
outstanding performance
Mozart must have known the Emperor in Star Wars.
He did...
Nearly right! The Emperor in Star Wars knew Mozart!
Oh you
Yes, is Darth Sidious
@@dac45 What I heard my name?
A gentle stab of BEAUTY, a violent caress of TERROR! How chilling was Amadeus's mind?.
Дякую за насолоду.
Cannot understand how people can dislike such a majestic peace of art !!!
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted.
Mark the music.
(The Merchant of Venice, 5.1.91-7)
@@sclerismockrey8506 Damn, son. That left a mark on the varlet!
'Cause they're all stupid assholes. That's why. Mozart was a pure genius and will always be forever and ever.
we can dislike it cuz there are better versions
@@dragoscercel4247 link please!
Tellement magnifique !... Quel malheur que Kwiecien ait mis fin à sa carrière...
What a performance. What a performance.
Exceptionnel. J'aurais aimé que les acclamations ne soient pas coupées à la fin. C'est un moment où on applaudit pas normalement mais la performance était tellement incroyable que le public n'a pas pu résister.
O forever haunt me, Ghost! A sensual opera, indeed. Thank you, Masterplan HD.
Wow, I never seen someone like this, my heart will be exploit whit emotion!!!
One of the most beautiful renditions of the Commendatore I've ever heard. Bravo!
De grande qualité !
Don Juan : Mariusz Kwiecien,
Leporello : Luca Pisaroni,
Le Commandeur : Stefan Kocan,
MET, direction James Levine, 2011
Lo que más disfruté de este vídeo, además del efecto del fuego y las voces del coro de demonios, fue la ovación del público. ¡Maravillosos los aplausos!
I remembered I watched this master piece like 9 years ago and I forgot where to find it. Here I am..So happy to find it again and definitely not gonna forget to save it this time !
Un superbe spectacle avec d'excellents chanteurs et cette fin d'opéra m'a toujours fait frissonner !
Je suis d'accord, j'aurais bien aimé voir la version complète de ce spectacle. Cette version du Commandeur est tout simplement effrayantes et les décors formidables.
Magnifique !Et la mise en scène est tellement badass !
Yes, you can clearly see the comendatore is pissed!
not stif performing but more acting comes back in opera.
I love it!
My favorite of the six versions I've watched on YT.
I always though the opera would've been so much more powerful if mozart had ended it entirely with this piece and not the upbeat D major song that concludes it all.
+Dalia Burgoin first edition of it ended with this scene, d major was added to Vienna performance
The D-major ending is to force us into thinking that this is a dramma GIOCOSO. You know, "il dissoluto punito", happy ending and stuff. But really. When the time for the "happy" sextet at the end comes I'm still drowning in my own tears and this is just cruel. I'm dying out of distress and they are trying to tell me "hey, a happy ending yay" hell no it's not happy oh my god
Many years ago I was told or either I read that the inclusion of the last segment had to do with how the performers were paid. It had to do with their appearance at the end of the opera. I have no idea if this is true or not and in some ways it does not make sense to me with my 21st century sensibilities.
It can work if the conductor has enough sense to wait a decent while before launching into the "happy ending". Probably the crew want extra overtime if things go on past bar closing time, so keep it moving boys, okay?
I couldn't agree more! I think the D major silly ending completely wrecks it. The current ROH performance tries to get round it by keeping DG on stage and having the chorus off stage but there is something still amiss I think.
Quadro di rara Potenza. Musica e libretto superbi. Grande interpretazione dei cantanti / attori. Il CONVITATO EFFICACISSIMO anche come presenza scenica. Stupendo
One word SPECTACULAR!!!
Mozart was such a genius that only in million years can appear someone that big, geniuses are so few...
¡Genial, una pieza de arte que te provoca tantas emociones posibles!
Fantastique interprétation ❤Stefan Kocan
Merci 🙏
i wish i was there *-* .. what a performance !!
Solo quien ha perdido a su padre entiende la esencia de esta escena magistral!!!
x2 😔
Wow.... bravissimi cantanti, splendida regia e bellissimi tempi! Mi è piaciuto un sacco!
Mozart will never go out of style ☯️☯️🧚♀️🧚♀️💫💫❤❤
One of the best final ever written!
Very true.
You are right
@Shao Yu Mai Wang ALL opera?
@Shao Yu Mai Wang I can't decide between this and the end of The Valkyrie though.
Is it a final? There's another scene after this one.
Interpretazione magistrale; scena resa in modo splendido. Grandi cantanti e grandi attori. Bravi, bravi, bravi
It was the Met Live in HD Broadcast from last year. The production is still running regularly at the MET, but there has not been a commercial release of this yet; maybe in the future.
Impresionante... Una verdadera Obra Maestra...
Sem dúvida uma obra prima. Cena impactante ! Que música!
Such a beautiful piece of music written and composed by Moazrt! Dark for it's time!
