Info for Mozart: Don Giovanni

The eagerly awaited release of Don Giovanni represents the culmination of the critically acclaimed cycle of Mozart's Da Ponte operas from the charismatic conductor Teodor Currentzis and MusicAeterna, the orchestra and choir he founded in Siberia.

This album completes this Mozart Da Ponte opera series by Teodor Currentzis with one of Mozart's most-loved operas, Don Giovanni. The opera that has had artists, philosophers and musicians musing down the years on the lasting significance of this work. As the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote in his book "Either/Or" "With his Don Giovanni, Mozart joins that little immortal band of men whose names, whose works, time will not forget because eternity recollects them."

Currentzis' work with MusicAeterna is going from strength to strength, having performed the complete Da Ponte series in Dortmund Konzerthaus in 2015 and he will tour with the orchestra in Western Europe throughout the rest of 2016.

In addition, BRMI are creating and new 50-min documentary titled "The Archetype of Myself – The Conductor Teodor Currentzis" which followed the conductor over several months following his artistic and private endeavours with MusicAeterna last year. This recording of 'Don Giovanni' forms the focal point of this documentary.

“[Currentzis is] sceptical, questioning, reinventing with bright lights and vividly colourful insights. Currentzis’s Russian orchestra steals the show with its incisive approach (but sack the clever-clever fortepianist). The ensemble is superbly tight.” (The Guardian)

“[this Don Giovanni] strips away many of our distorting performance habits, and the result is refreshing, revelatory and unsettling…Tiliakos is a dramatic Don…Loconsolo is vocally nimble and petulant as required…Gauvin has [Elvira] fully under control and her roulades in the quartet are ravishing. Do not expect a familiar ‘warm bath’ experience here; it offers an invigorating shower of fresh new insights” (BBC Music Magazine)

“an idiosyncratic, sometimes startling, always riveting listening experience.” (New York Times)

“we have a very pleasantly sung Don Giovanni from the Greek baritone Dimitris Tiliakos…Vito Priante’s Leporello is in many ways excellent…Kenneth Tarver sings pleasingly as a lyrical Don Ottavio…Christina Gansch is a very respectable Zerlina” (Gramophone Magazine)
