I have heard dozens of versions and many great Commendatores but Silvestrelli's voice is something non-human. Incredibly powerful and really scary. I'd really love to hear him live.And the way he just throws the (pretty tall and well-built) Gilfry over one shoulder is really impressive. How strong is this man?

I heard him do Fafner at HGO last year. Simply unbelievable, and I can't think of a better singer to play a dragon.

Silvestrelli es sin duda el mejor Comendattore que haya escuchado en toda la vida. Y esa sala además tiene un eco que lo hace escuchar de ultratumba.

@WiEar 2 жыл бұрын

No, no opera could ever come close to this one. And that is because medium, theme and composer form a real triumvirate, that is unbeatable. Medium: music, the essential sensual medium. Theme: Don Giovanni, rhe mythical personification of sensuality. Composer: Mozart, the one who had music flowing through his veins; the eminant sensual composer. Kierkegaard has written extensively about why this opera can never find its equal. "In his 19th-century treatise, “The Immediate Erotic Stages or the Musical Erotic,” found in his 1843 book Either/Or, the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813-55) argues that Mozart’s Giovanni represents sexuality and eroticism, which are the opposites of Christian morality. Giovanni also represents absolute immorality and the absolute triumph of desire. Kierkegaard writes: “In Don Giovanni, however, desire is absolutely qualified as desire. . . . In this stage, therefore, desire is absolutely genuine, victorious, triumphant, irresistible, and demonic” (84-85). However, the Don is also the center of the story. “Giovanni’s passion ‘resonates in and supports . . . Elvira’s wrath, Anna’s hate, Ottavio’s pomposity, Zerlina’s anxiety, Masetto’s indignation, Leporello’s confusion’” (Magda Romanska) I was present in the Amsterdam concertgebouw when this was recorded. It was in the context of the Holland Festival. And that takes me to one more feature of excellence: the concertgebouw has the best acooustic in the world. The Japanese have tried to make a building with a similar sound quality. They even used the same paint of the walls and all that jazz. However, and of course, to no avail.

I was not ready for the Commendatore to come get him and carry him off -- THAT, on top of Mr. Silvastrelli's voice (amplification being understood with the trombones right behind him, and with the acoustics of that spot not being like projecting from the stage), was about the most shockingly wonderful thing I have ever seen!

Highly original, it avoids clichés such as that the commandatore usually arrives to the scene from above, yet he 'invites' back and takes Don Giovanny to Hades into Eternal Damnation. I also like how Don Giovanny goes through a whole range of emotions, from his usual arrogant smirkiness, all the way down to the absolute bottom.

From this perspective the Comm. is a strong and positive character, knowing that the much younger man will probably kill him, but he still fights to defend her honor.

This is the only version which comes close to mozarts real tempos! I don't remember which opera, but there is a letter Mozart wrote just when he came home after the performance and he gives the time he started writing the letter. So somebody calculated in which time the opera had been played! And it was so fast, that Gardiner is the only one who really reaches that tempo with his performances! All in all the recording of Gardiner ist the best which exists at the moment!

You are terribly wrong. Today we're used to slow tempos in baroque and classical music, but that's a misinterpretation of the ancient tempi. Today's conductors play Mozart and Beethoven like if they were Wagner!! To slow and heavy. Gardiner offers always the best historical interpretation, and the music takes a life that it doesn't have with other conductors. So I think this is the best version of this piece available.
