5.0 out of 5 stars Live recording of the incomparable Furtwaengler, 27 Mar 2005
By L. E. Cantrell (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Buy this recording for the performance and live with its shortcomings in the mere mechanical reproduction of sound.

This is the earlier of the two live recordings of Furtwaengler conducting "Don Giovanni" at the Salzburg Festival. It offers the ultimate Romantic take on the opera. (The famous movie version is yet a third performance with essentially the same cast as the second, save for the substitution of Lisa Della Casa for Elizabeth Schwarzkopf as Donna Elvira. What vocal riches existed in those belt-tightened, post-WWII days!)

This performance must surely be the most dramatic ever captured on disk. Tito Gobbi was a remarkably treacherous, almost too intelligent Don. Anton Dermota did not have the most beautiful voice or the longest breath control, but his command of both the dramatic and musical requirements of Ottavio, Tamino and Ferrando made him the finest Mozart tenor on any stage. And Lizzie Blackhead, love her or loathe her, was the best Donna Elvira of the Twentieth Century. Every singer exceeds his or her normal limitations under the hand of the mighty conductor.

The later recording, with Cesare Siepi as the Don, was captured in better sound. Get them both. And get the wonderful Glyndbourne set under the graceful touch of Fritz Busch, too. It is the only performance that can stand with Furtwaengler's.
