So this is what peak performance looks like
Still one of the best-ever documented performances of Don Giovanni.
This was one of the best deliveries of Don Giovanni I have ever heard. Nothing wrong with it anywhere - the singing, acting music everything was on the ticket.
Gardiner hits again with a definitive period performance.
One of the genius of our time !
I'm dying from envy of those people lucky enough to have been in the audience that day. The operas that John Eliot Gardiner headed at the Concertgebouw are so energetic and beautifully performed. And what talent! If you haven't seen the Die Zauberflote he did here, it too is amazing.
I saw this production on television 24 years ago... still the best opera performance ever seen!
Have you seen the film version by Joseph Losey?
It is one of the best performances of Don Giovanni! Amsterdam Concertgebouw is very special and unique. Music,singing and acting is so powerful and real, that intensifies our emotions, while listening and watching.
Don Giovanni is not an opera (only) about men, women and sex....It is about love, passion, honesty, justice, truth, human virtues and weaknesses...
A free spirit? An ad-dick-t.
Rod Gilfry is a great talent and a rare force of nature, and this version of Don Giovanni is without equal. Please leave it on CZcams! And Leporello! D'Arcangelo is Don Giovanni's prefect sidekick with a beautiful, effortless voice with he combines with great acting. The entire cast is superb and John Eliot Gardiner's directing of both the music and theater performances is unique! Thank you all for this gem.
And also the brilliant Luba Orgonasova, surely not a "top model" style like we see in too many productions, but what a voice , what a temperament !
I agree with you. Rod is a good looking guy, great voice and acting skills also. He was also in the Sechseläutenplatz Opernhaus which I regularly visited.
Yeah she's a great artist but she's saving her voice in ensembles you can hardly hear her...@@taf44tt8io
Mozart's 'Don Giovanni' is a resplendent monumental saga... The theme in this opera is a reflection and psychology of how most men behave in most societies. The music... oh yes, the music... what a beauty! It is such a sublime and complex magical work! The music channels a combination of subtle joy, grace, serenity combined at different intervals with the dynamics, suspense and exuberance of the drama. The emotions remain with all its potency, it is elicited in the theme and the musical melodic rhythms. 'Don Giovanni,' has the myth and religious influence in the story as well.
The work is so charming and dramatic, so sensitive, so truthful and there is the heraldic spirit within everything Mozart composed!
The English Baroque Soloist singers are superb histrionics. The vocal combinations of tenor, soprano, bass, alto and mezzo-soprano pitches vibrate poetic sensitivity. The Monteverdi Choir are spectacular singers. Such gravitas and empathy between the soloists, the choir, the orchestra and Maestro Gardiner are mesmerizing. A fabulous orchestra!
Maestro John Elliot Gardiner is a paragon conductor! An exquisitely refined rendition!
This dramatised concert performance is better than most staged productions which can often detract from the singing.
It's great to have this opportunity to view a really spectacular performance..
Charlotte Margiono in her blooming prime, wouw in the extreme. She's amazing!!!! One couldn't imagine how wonderful her voice later would bloom. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is the best Don Giovanni I have ever seen, including going to Prague to see it in Mozart's opera house there! The singers, individually and as ensemble, were wonderful, and the orchestra, marvelously led by John Eliot Gardner, the expressive basis of each stage of the drama. Bravo!
Ildebrando D'Arcangelo is so cute as leporello. What a handsome man!
Just one word: Fantastic!
I was present during this performance and was blown away by this uncomparable opera in concert performance. The finale is written in rock in my memory. Public crying, shouting encores which is not common in the Netherlands. There was TV broadcast which I recorded on video at the time. Now I finfd it here! A deep thank you for sharing this performans of the 20th Century.
Thank you, Concertgebouw! This was earth shaking.
Die allerbeste Don Giovanni-Aufführung, die ich je gehört-gesehen habe! Bin sooo glücklich!
One of the best performance of Don Giovanni, ever,
Best production ever!! More exciting than any other full staged versions. Love Rodney Gilfry!!
Don Giovanni is one of my favorite operas by Mozart.

OMG it’s a already quarter of a century since I’d seen this production for the first time. It hasn’t aged at all, marvelous as always! Gardiner and Gilfry are fantastic! Love Leporello and Zerlina duet here, wonderfully preformed!
This is a typical Gardiner performance, characterized by precision, quick tempos, clean articulation of phrases, and clarity. All of his performances strike me as being scholarly to the point of being indifferent to the spirit of the music. This particular performance leaves me breathless, in need of a little respite now and then from the relentless forward motion of his tempos and drive.
extraordinaire!
Viva la libertà!
Une si grande puissance dans une telle simplicitée de décor;bravo Gardiner!!!Extaordinaire.
This is the best expression of this opera, no doubt about it. Really a wonderful performance!!
Have you seen the Joseph Losey Film version?
the tenor is very good. and i love the fast tempos.
Prégardien !!! Have you listen him singing BACH ? or Lieder ?
The last 5 bars of this performance is really perfect. Bravo timpani
Many thanks, Hupjeflupje !
D'Arcangelo. Awesome Leporello!
Fantastisch! Geweldig! Bravo! Brava
Oh my God! This was fabulous and with an absolutely terrifying conclusion! Mozart's genius was truly staggering. Thank you for uploading.
@Psalm 27 Mozart didn't write the ending. Tirso de Molina did.
@@peace-now Tirso was a Spanish writer, not a musician, more than a century previous Mozart, so he couldn't write the end of the opera. The text of the ending was written by the librettist Da Ponte. and the music, of course, by Mozart.
Please Archiv, DG, Dutch Television please clean up and release this as a DVD with multisubs! Its hands down the best Don I've ever enjoyed and with some good English subs I could create a new pack of opera fans if I could only buy it.
Превосходное исполнение. Просто наслаждение для слуха.
Saw this one on TV, but was there when they gave 'Idomeneo' Which was also a stunning performance....Don Giovanni, what else? It is not an opera buffa but a drama giocosa...drama and fun.
Wow! Astonishing! Such a performance
GARDINER, one of the best conductor ever ! ! ! ! !
A "vacsorameghívás"...Irtóztató jelenet.
És csodálatos zene!
Ildebrando is amazing !!
MOZART too amazing!
I don't understand why this wonderful recording ist not available on DVD? It is so much better than anythyng that's available although (or because) it is not really an stage production. I absolutely love this performance.
i have watched this literally 10000 times when i was a kid, i love it so much! huge part of my childhood
Valery C It must have been. That's about 3,5 years of watching this video.
omg you are hilarious Darth Tesla
hoi Valery
Hey Aron!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aron Bakker
Oh this is amazing, you must have a great childhood, all we need to do, is show this and other Mozart works to our Childs, is powerful to our minds.
I was in the audience then. A truly unforgettable experience. Top cast and conductor. Thank you for posting this
wonderful!
csodálatos!
LOL. Now that's cheerful!
I am really enjoying this performance, I tell you. I think Don Giovanni is great here, and the orchestra is superb. Enjoy!
Thanks for posting. The more Mozart on CZcams, the better.
Maravilloso!
my favorite opera :D
I don't understand why this recording isn't available on DVD. It's best that i know.
FANTASTIC!!! What an original production. Thank you for sharing
потрясающе!!!!
Orgonasova's Mi Tradi is a model of perfection. The thunderous applause is a testament of her examplary technique. Why she is not a bigger star I simply can't comprehend!
Desmond P T Mi Tradi is Elvira's aria. Charlotte Margiono is Elvira, not Luba Orgonasova.
@@jasonhurd4379 Apologies, I meant Non mi dir.
Och wat een goede herinneringen. Ik bezocht deze voorstelling en was maandenlang totaal van de kaart van Gilfry. Ik was dan ook pas zestien... Bedankt voor het uploaden, leuk om weer te zien!
Great job!
This is a very fine performance of Don Giovanni. The whole cast seems to be inspired and thus sing with the greatest enthusiasm. It is a rendition in which one is indeed stimulated to be a part of it all. Thanks for posting.
Bravi 🎼🌷🌷🌷🌷🎼
très magnifique!!!
An original and lively production.
Thanks so much for posting this!I will never ever get enough of Mozart's music and DG is my absolute favorite. I have 3 recordings with different casts and I love the subtle differences in each one.
A few years ago I saw Mozart's singspiel "Zaide" during the Mostly Mozart Festival in NYC , it was set in the present and it was AWESOME! Why not play around with his operas , apparently he didn't have strict notations ,leaving interpretations open .
The music transcends anything!!!!
Just finished listening to the 1st act - this is a truly amazing performance !!!!
Brendan Lawlor - if you like DonGiovanni you absolutely have to check this out...
I absolutely love Don Giovanni. I have never seen a performance live. It's on my bucket list.
Thanks God I'm Italian so I don't need subtitles...it would have been very difficult :/ still in this way it is difficult to understand every single word obviously because of the singing. Great performance! After "Le nozze di Figaro" another great job done by Gardiner and Gilfry proves himself a fantastic Don Giovanni after his Count of Almaviva.
la mejor versión! el mejor elenco!
A lot of thanks !
I know this is old, but I haven't come across Rodney Gilfry in a long time. I love him.
Very clean and beautiful performance.
Браво! Браво! Великолепно!
Une des plus belles interprétations que j'aie jamais entendues. Dommage pour les sous-titres en néerlandais. Mais c'est un détail mineur. Décidémént, Gardiner réussit tout cequ'il touche. Je me suis régalé récemment avec ses Vêpres de Monteverdi.
Ja, ja wat een respectloos commentaar. Het concert was in Amsterdam en daar spreekt men N e d e r l a n d s , 23 miljoen Europeanen spreken Nederlands als moedertaal.
First time i've listened Mozart's "Don Giovanni", and that's shameful...
The singer in the title-role has given a memorable performance in regard with both singing and acting.
SOLID performance!
Why do some people feel that 18th Century opera needs to be "updated" with modern costumes and settings? A rogue like Don Giovanni would have been tolerated in 1787, but much less so today. Mozart's opera does not need any "help" from those who want to bring it into the 21st Century.
Indeed, I don;t think there is a video or DVD recording available. Only this version I've taped from TV....
Maravillosa! Fantástica! Excelente! Lástima que no quieras compartir tu comentario.
i'd like to thank you, uploeder(Hupjeflupje). This full clip is the opera i'm very looking forward to watch for. Gardiner, Rodney.... Thanks.

Great version outside decorated stage....
He gives him a decent smack at 21:25 ha! This is a great performance throughout! Wish I could've been there.
MOZART? The only SUNSHINE! BRAVISSIMO!
The aria starting around 28:00 is excellently and delightfully performed by Rodney Gilfry.
This is one of few thoroughly convincing and conceptually truthful versions of Don Giovanni, unfortunately it did not get the proper appreciation of musicologists, though the music part recreated beautifully by maestro Gardiner allows us to feel Mozartean atmosphere more than many elaborate productions. On CD it is also good though there is some problem with volume of soloists, chorus and orchestra. But it should take an important place in the history of DJ productions, as it deserves.
@2:37:56 Amazing!
Best
Sorry...Correction. This is the Vienna version which Mozart wrote after the original which was premiered in Prague. He tried to please the viennese audience and the new cast he had that's why he rearranged many scenes. Of course, the viennese audience was not impressed like in Le nozze di Figaro...
Verzeihung, ich habe die Daten doch gefunden! Sory for the "verdammt!"
2:10, starts Overture
Always fascinates me as to how Netherlanders speak English better than native English speakers.
Oh, so this is one of the songs where Dimanda Hagan gets her title card intros. Neat!
Deze Don Giovanni lijkt wel een broer van Hans Teeuwen.
Haha ja hopelijk niet qua karakter anders komt hij nog in de problemen...
Pregardien is awesome!
champagne aria, hilarious! 1:04:37 altogether, so enjoyable!
2:37:54 Best part.
32:23 - priceless!
The cast is exactly the same as the CD set!
Magistrale uitvoering! Is ie ook op DVD?
Charlotte Margiono is like a giantess next to the other singers. She towers over them!
The best, however, is the version of Harnoncourt from From the Opernhaus Zürich, 2001.
WOW! AMazing performance
This is so much better than a full dressed stage performance. The Zerlina rape attempt scene is fun!
In der Liga von Klemperer und Furtwängler. Aber warum, verdammt, gibt es wieder keine Daten über die Sänger??
Maybe the Concertgebouw has the best acoustics but it very definitely is not a particularly comfortable place to hear music - at least in the summer. No air conditioning.
Wow, Brad Pitt is versatile! I'm just kidding, that was great. Thank you for the whole performance!
Billy idol broke into the building!
23nál:"Ah, chi me dice mai"
She's really enjoying herself at 1:04:05
I can´t thank you in your language because I´m portuguese and I don´t understand dutch or even germain.I try english. I have the CD of this version and I looked for the video everywhere but i di´n´t find it.
