In this extraordinary ‘dramma giocoso’, Mozart brings together ingredients from different operatic traditions – from the comedy of opera buffa to the formalised elements of opera seria. Don Giovanni’s musical riches are many, and this collection of highlights includes perfect musical depictions of Anna’s outrage, Ottavio’s tenderness, Elvira’s desolation, Masetto’s animal rage, and Zerlina’s artful feminine wiles. A recording of the complete opera with these artists is available on Naxos 8.660080-82.
