The subtitles are a little off. "So you expect me to flee?" is almost the total opposite of what "così pretendi da me fugir?" ("Are you trying, thus, to escape me?") means. Giovanni is saying "it's beneath me to fight you, old man" and the Commendatore is saying "you're using that as an excuse to run away."
By the way, what does "son tradito" exactly mean in the context in which the Commendatore sings it? Does it imply that Don Giovanni has used some dirty trick on him?
@@annann3745 I want to note that my Italian is spotty, its just very clear that the translation is off with "così pretendi" etc. As for "son tradito" I'd assume its a more general "I am undone" rather than literally "I am betrayed." But to be sure you'd have to ask someone who is better versed in Italian and 18th century literary conventions.
I've never seen a video of it, but back in 1990 when this was recorded I remember listening to the Met radio broadcast where they played the audio of them performing the switched roles.
Ramey’s voice is just titanic. Unreal.
Splendid! I love the singing and acting. And Moll looks so noble here!
Ramey-Furlanetto-Moll: magnifici! Ramey divino!!
It would be great to see this performance in full, I think we'd all agree on that
Amen
It is on youtube: you google "Don Giovanni 1990 Jerry Hadley".
@@mirjamdevries9376 yes! That is true, but those do not, as far as I’ve seen, contain English subtitles.
That's because I've been adding the subtitles to the scenes myself...
@@BassosaurusRex Excellent work, thank you very much for your great effort!
Can we appriciatte Giovanni's Drip at the first scene? Like low-key I would go out like that
The section of music at the death of Commendatore inspired Beethoven for Moonlight Sonata,Sonata no.14 in C sharp minor(1st Movement)
nice one, good cast good scene

Is there a recording of this production???
Yes, it's in its entirety on UA-cam
Is there a recording of where Ramey and furlanetto are in switched roles? Apparently they switched roles every other night for this particular show
