| |  | Vienna version, 1788Director: Vincent Boussard; Costumes: Christian Lacroix; Designer: Vincent Lemaire and Lighting: Alain Poisson
Johannes Weisser (Don Giovanni), Marcos Fink (Leporello), Alexandrina Pendatchanska (Donna Elvira), Werner Güra (Don Ottavio), Malin Byström (Donna Anna), Sunhae Im (Zerlina), Nikolai Borchev (Masetto) & Alessandro Guerzoni (Commendatore) Freiburger Barockorchester & Innsbruck Festival Chorus, René Jacobs (musical direction) After the success of Così fan tutte and The Marriage of Figaro, René Jacobs' CD recording of this
centrepiece of the Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy offered us his reflections on Classical opera and
garnered serious acclaim worldwide. Performed at the Innsbruck festival in August 2006 and filmed in Baden
-Baden, this production is nourished by his thoughts on Don Giovanni as taboo-breaker but still respects
Mozart's intentions as closely as possible.
In the documentary Looking for Don Giovanni, the director Nayo Titzin follows the creation of this
production in the search for musical truth. A blu-ray version will be released later this year. “The Lacroix-dressed cast in Innsbruck performed as a true ensemble. Johannes Weisser was an energetic Giovanni, Marcos Fink a huge hit as the hapless Leporello. Alexandrina Pendatchanska fully inhabited the role of Elvira and Sunhae Im was a remarkable Zerlina, bringing a touch of wiliness to the character’s vulnerability.” Gramophone “The sets are extremely simple, the voices not powerful but fresh, and there's a spontaneity about most of the show.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2008 *** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Mozart - The Last Concertos
Freiburger Barockorchester, Gottfried von der Goltz This recording is the last of the triptych of CDs that
the Freiburger Barockorchester has devoted to
Mozart's concertos. His final instrumental work, the
Clarinet Concerto, was written just a few months after
the last Piano Concerto, No. 27 in 1791.
In both cases, the performers have gone back to the original manuscripts to unearth the details of Mozart's
own performing practice. If his markings are followed precisely, as here, it is possible to rediscover his
fascinating variety of sonic perspectives.
Lorenzo Coppola completed his diploma in Classical clarinet under the guidance of Eric Hoeprich at the
Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Since then he has been one of the most sought-after clarinettists in the
field of historical performance practice. He has played with such ensembles as La Petite Bande, Les Arts
Florissants, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, the Orchestra of the 18th Century and the Freiburger
Barockorchester. Lorenzo Coppola also performs chamber repertoire with Ensemble Zefiro, Ensemble
Philidor, the Académie Sainte-Cécile, Harmonie Bohémienne and Düsseldorfer Hofmusik.
Undoubtedly one of the most prominent keyboard performers in the world,Andreas Staier embarked upon
a solo career in 1986 and, since then, his indisputable musical mastery has made its mark on the
interpretation of Baroque, Classical and Romantic repertoire. He has formed a highly successful trio with
violinist Daniel Sepec and cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras; they have recently recorded their first CD, of
Beethoven, for harmonia mundi.His extensive discography has won critical praise from the international
press, whether for BMG,Teldec or hm for whom he has released his last five recordings: Mozart's Sonatas in
two CDs; Haydn concertos with the Freiburger Barockorchester; Hamburg 1734, with the German
harpsichordist Christine Schornsheim; and, more recently, Beethoven's sonatas for violin and piano, with
Daniel Sepec performing on Beethoven's own instrument. In February 2007, and again with Christine
Schornsheim,Andreas Staier released a cd dedicated to a very special instrument: the Stein 'vis-à-vis’. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Mozart - Wind Concertos
Katharina Arfken (oboe), Donna Agrell (bassoon) & Teunis van der Zwart (horn) Freiburger Barockorchester, Gottfried von der Goltz “Van der Zwart responds with great humour and technical panache to these good-natured works. (He is especially amusing exploiting the flatulence of extreme low notes in the first-movement cadenza of No 4.)…
Von der Goltz's robust, earthy way with Mozart, bringing this music out of the salon and into the open air, sets the seal on this outstanding issue.” Sunday Times Classical CD of the Week “Teunis van der Zwart's brazen tones, piquant stopped notes and swaggering gait in the horn concertos are irresistible.” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
