Format:Audio CD
Although I've never found a recorded version of what is probably the greatest opera ever written to replace the superbly cast and directed Guilini (EMI) this new version from Jacobs makes a real alternative. For a start the period instruments give a far more pungent feel than the playing of the vintage Philamonia Orchestra and the whole weight of the piece is different. Whereas Guilini's Don is a demonic creation, Jacobs' is possibly nearer to Mozart's intentions - a thoughtless and licentious young man. Johannes Weisser sounds lighter and younger than Wachter on EMI - not better or worse, just different. That said, the singing isn't quite up to the standard of the EMI's dream cast, but, driven by Jacob's rather more unconventional view of the work it is often extremely exciting. While I would still recommend the EMI as one of the greatest opera recordings ever made, this new version makes a really welcome alternative. Get both and enjoy the differences!

worth it! 25 Feb 2008
Format:Audio CD
If you are new to this opera than there are a multitide of options out there gullini,bohm for instance possibly for a cheaper price. But, if you want a new (old fasioned) look on an old favourite like myself then this recording is a must! I simply can not and won't fault it. for a start you really do get a feel of being there, which for me is very important when listening to any opera recording. Jacobs and co have managed to equal in both measures the intimacy and rawness of a live experience with a performance that can rival any, and I mean any previous recording. Those who have heard his marriage of figaro will know what Im talking about. For me it was like hearing the opera for the first time again. I don't normally go for period instrument recordings for the sake of it- especially when it comes to composers like mozart who I'm sure would have welcomed the best sound poss. However, this recording gives us a raw, powerful account of what it might have been like to be their first time round. fabulous!

SUBLIME 31 July 2009
Format:Audio CD
Il maestro Jacobs, particolarmente ispirato, ci offre un Don Giovanni entusiasmante per rigore, stile, fraseggio, cura dei dettagli e potenza drammatica. Eccellenti le voci e di altissimo livello la prestazione dell'orchestra. Tutta una serie di dettagli che si dissolvevano nel magma orchestrale delle interpretazioni tradizionali alla Karajan vengono posti qui in grande risalto, acquistano teatralità, concorrono a definire la struttura retorica dell'opera. Perfetta la registrazione e la qualità del suono.
