It takes the right voice but, once found, eternal scenes arise from Mozart's genius. This closing piece in Don Giovanni is as unworldly as the aria by the Queen of the Night in the Magic Flute, both intended to be supernatural.
Vocally, this is a knockout performance, one of the best of this scene I have ever heard. The staging is a bit static by modern standards, of course, although the camera work is excellent.
the statue especially needs to animate a little more. he sounds fantastic, but the way he stands absolutely still draws attention to the goofy faces the singer makes. like, i get hes a statue, but bend the rules a little for a scene where our... "hero" gets dragged to hell.
Tadeo Giorgio, una delle voce di basso più belle ch'io abbia mai sentite !!! Brillante nel centro, negli acuti e nei gravi. Brillante e profonda. Ideale !!!
Ah Mozart! and the voices! the voices! sublime! One of the greatest masterpieces in the music world! No need for grandiose and overwhelming sets. Extraordinary talent and Mozart eternal genius are all that is required. The best bass I have ever heard. The best voice interpretation. I am in music heaven.
Probabilmente la migliore versione che abbia mai ascoltato di questa scena. Non credo che attualmente sia possibile realizzare nulla di paragonabile. .
@@pablodemarcos5379 Thank you for this - when I was going through versions it didn't come up. Superb conducting and so atmospheric. A great commendatore, and what a DG in Siepi too.
Personnages et interprètes : Don Giovanni (Gabriel Bacquier, baryton) ; Leporello (Wladimiro Ganzarolli, baryton) ; Il Commendatore (Giorgio Tadeo, basse). Chœurs du Festival d'Aix-en-Provence et Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire sous la direction de Peter Maag. Enregistrement par les soins de l'ORTF de la représentation donnée le 15/07/1964 au théâtre de l'Archevêché d'Aix-en-Provence (mise en scène de Jean Meyer). Archives de l'INA.
Une basse qui chante à pleine voix (sans chevroter) le rôle du Commandeur, et dont l'italien est irréprochable, comme d'ailleurs celui de Don Giovanni et de Leporello, c'est trop rare aujourd'hui pour qu'on ne salue comme il se doit cette représentation de 1964 dirigée par le trop méconnu chef helvétique Peter Maag (1919-2001). J'avais vingt ans à l'époque et m'en souviens comme si c'était hier. Quelle magnifique soirée !
On notera un lapsus de G. Tadeo, qui tient le rôle du Commandeur. Alors que le livret porte : "Altre cure più gravi di queste, altra brama quaggiù mi guidò" ("ce sont d'autres soucis plus sérieux que ceux-là, un autre motif qui m'ont amené ici"), le chanteur dit : "Altre brame più gravi di queste, altra brama quaggiù mi guidò".
Before Giorgio was done singing the initial "Giovanni" I was blown away and found myself saying out loud, "Now THAT'S a bass!!" He's just awe inspiring. Blew me away.
"Hear the unrestrained craving of passion, hear the sighing of erotic love, hear the whisper of temptation, hear the vortex of seduction, hear the stillness of the moment-hear, hear, hear Mozart’s Don Giovanni." -Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or
Ganzarolli and Bacquier are incredibly impressive. I saw the Falstaff recording with Bacquier, but I do really think this is his prime. His acting is so masterful, and he stayed in the zone until the very end of each opera. It’s so impressive. There’s not much on Ganzarolli, but he’s a real master. I really like hearing him as Leporello. He’s perfect for the role actually. Tadeo was also great in this scene, but remember these two were up there for 3 hours before this scene and still sounded incredible.
Impressive performance by Tadeo and it is a tribute to his clear enunciation that I've noticed that he sings a different text from any other that I heard until now: "cibo eterno" (eternal food) instead of "cibo celeste" (heavenly food), "altre brame" (other yearnings) instead of "altre cure" (other cares).
The spare staging and slow pace focus us on the drama: the statue of an incorruptible and fearsome leader comes to dinner, and slowly but unstoppablly, consigns an unrepentant villain to Hell. Seems more eerie and frightening than most richly staged productions with glittering stars.
Величайшее произведение! Блестящее исполнение! Пётр Ильич полагал, что напиши Моцарт одного лишь "Дон Жуана", он обессмертил бы себя. Но каков здесь Командор! Браво! Браво! Браво!
Es cierto que hay cierto ritmo lento, pero es sublime. Una de las cimas del cerebro humano. Esos dos acordes con los que comienza, que se presentan en la obertura, aún me ponen los pelos de punta. Gracias!!!
I've only heard a few basses but so far Giorgio's voice is the most powerful. My prima voce is in the bass range but no number of hours could I practice where I would sound like him.
Какой же убедительный Командор. Тадей-- великий бас. Огромный , сильный голос , понимание глубины роли создает сильнейшее впечатление. Спасибо за возможность услышать великое произведение Моцарта в идеальном исполнении❤
Bellissima interpretazione. Grazie per averla condivisa. Sto studiando il Don Giovanni e, tra le tante che ho sentito, è sicuramente la migliore. Stupenda voce. Grazie ancora.
Raramente nella storia dell'arte , e della musica in particolare , si possono raggiungere livelli di drammaticità così elevati, non solo da penetrare nell'animo di un moderno, ma da farlo meditare sul suo destino ultraterreno. Non è solo questione del libretto di Da Ponte ( peraltro non unico) ma della unicità di Mozart che medita , da massone-cristiano, sul destino postumo dell'uomo. Don Giovanni ha avuto tante donne (Madamina il catalogo è questo),ma non per questo non può essere perdonato: ha ucciso e questo la Massoneria non perdona. Di più, però: chi in quelle condizioni non avrebbe detto sì al Commendatore: sì ,mi pento! Ma Don Giovanni non può : perché l'istinto sessuale nulla ha da farsi perdonare .Si può chiedere allo stomaco di pentirsi perché ha fame? Certo che no! Semmai il peccato grave si trova in Molière che offre una moneta d'oro ad un eremita , purché bestemmi. Tanto elevata è l'opera di Mozart , da aprire spazi alla filosofia: cito solo il saggio su Mozart e il Diario del seduttore di Soren Kierkegaard. Grazie a Mariella Adani e Giorgio Taddeo: uno spettacolo meraviglioso e tremendo, come la meraviglia e il terrore nella parola greca thauma.
I must hear more from this singer. A really superior instrument from what I can hear in this excerpt. Pretty comparable to Talvela in this scene & that’s saying something. Ashamed to say I was not aware of this bass at all.
Questa è la miglior versione che abbia mai ascoltato. Tadeo Giorgio, per me, il migliore di sempre. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Impressionante! Note basse profonde, da paura! Il miglior Commendatore mai sentito. Un basso vero e straordinario.💐💯
Da brividi, mai sentito un Commendatore cantato in questo modo, è immenso da tutti i punti di vista.
Grazie di cuore!
Scariest of them All = Powerful Dark deepest voice I've seen.
Voce di basso profondo meravigliosa e potente. Mozart non ha bisogno di commenti.
It takes the right voice but, once found, eternal scenes arise from Mozart's genius. This closing piece in Don Giovanni is as unworldly as the aria by the Queen of the Night in the Magic Flute, both intended to be supernatural.
Splendid music atonishing with the right interpretation
Venue, date, cast & conductor please!
Except the Queen of the Night and the Commendatore are complete opposites in affection for their daughters XD
Vocally, this is a knockout performance, one of the best of this scene I have ever heard. The staging is a bit static by modern standards, of course, although the camera work is excellent.
By modern standards? Most operas today have a black backdrop and it’s up to you to imagine the rest.
@@Dan474834 You are right. The backdrop is hand painted and adds immensely to the scene.
@@michaelvaccaro3129 yes! it even is made so that one perceives commendatore as larger than life, like a statue should be
the statue especially needs to animate a little more.
he sounds fantastic, but the way he stands absolutely still draws attention to the goofy faces the singer makes.
like, i get hes a statue, but bend the rules a little for a scene where our... "hero" gets dragged to hell.
Tadeo Giorgio is extraordinary!

El gran "basso" Tadeo Giorgio,demuestra que el talento interpretativo y la voz esta mas alla del tiempo y la moda.¡Impresionante!.
qué manía de llamarle tadeo giorgio... es Giorgio Tadeo...
One of the best (if not the best one) commendatore's scenes I've seen.Tadeo Giorgio is the best and this recording historic.Thank's

You say: The opera of the operas! Incredible!
Probabilmente la migliore versione che abbia mai ascoltato di questa scena. Non credo che attualmente sia possibile realizzare nulla di paragonabile. .
Why don't you think it's currently possible?
I'm asking as a person with no knowledge of the subject.
absolutely the best sung commendatore, the slowest I have heard, beautifully executed.
Thank you !
Look at the DG of Furtwangler 1954... 😮😡
@@pablodemarcos5379 Thank you for this - when I was going through versions it didn't come up.
Superb conducting and so atmospheric. A great commendatore, and what a DG in Siepi too.

Azor75013 Thanks for posting this. This is important to know the names of these great artists...
Peter Maag 👍
Before Giorgio was done singing the initial "Giovanni" I was blown away and found myself saying out loud, "Now THAT'S a bass!!" He's just awe inspiring. Blew me away.
Thank you very much, in fact his voice colour and the depth of his notes are always moving.
a great bass singer!
One of the greatest operatic ensembles of all time, brilliantly brought to life by Messrs. Bacquier, Ganzarolli and Tadeo.
Tadeo Giorgio, one of the post war greats - from the golden generation. Superb!

Great Version. Great voices. A lesson of interpretation . With not so expensive set. ( talent superates all ).
Impressive performance by Tadeo and it is a tribute to his clear enunciation that I've noticed that he sings a different text from any other that I heard until now: "cibo eterno" (eternal food) instead of "cibo celeste" (heavenly food), "altre brame" (other yearnings) instead of "altre cure" (other cares).
I noticed that too, wonder where this libretto is from
あ！だから記憶にある歌詞と違っていたんだ😲‼️
The singing is so amazing.
This may be the best version on youtube.

This is otherwordly! Thank you so much for sharing it! And it is a LIVE performance!!!
I have not seen many Giorgio dramatic roles, but this and his Seneca are superb
His Seneca is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, and so is this...
Грандиозная сцена,сколько раз смотрена, а в хорошем исполнении неизменно потрясает
Только Великого инквизитора не хватает для окончательного покарания грешников. Добавил бы огоньку!
Любимое место в опере
@@Aniez2305 и La ci darem la mano))) самый охмуреж, под сладкий лепет мандолины)
:)))))
My goodness the way the Commendatore just slips back into the darkness behind him is chilling. The suddenness of it is quite effective.
One of the most amazing things I've ever heard.
No doubt: best Commendatore ever!
Actually, many sound amazing in this role. It’s Mozart more than the singers who thrill our ears.
Ну не скажите! Здесь ещё действует и хорошая сценография, костюмы и удачная подача Коммендатора в образе устрашающей ожившей статуи
@@florafurioso9197 Non è assolutamente vero, Mozart non è bello se eseguito da cani
@@Francys5FS lmao
Best? He pretty amazing. But I’d put Kurt Moll up there too.
Tadeo insuperabile! Ganzarolli un meraviglioso Leporello. Entrambi voci sonore, timbrate e bellissime. Entrambi perfetti nel ruolo.
Is the entire broadcast available anywhere? This deserves to be seen, it's tremendous!
GIORGIO TADEO E' INCREDIBILE;VOCE SCURA,PROFONDA MA AL TEMPO STESSO BRILLANTE E STENTOREA..
hands down, best Commendatore ever,
What a great voice 😍
Voce potentissima, bel timbro scuro e presenza scenica imponente: il miglior Commendatore che abbia mai sentito
This was the most excellent version of the commendatore scene yet. I could feel the terror of the situation.
this is for me the best version I've found in YTube of this part. Many thanks.
Great version of this scene!
Величайшее произведение! Блестящее исполнение!

Браво! Браво! Браво!
Wow! That a voice can have emphasis and impact at that tempo! Strength and technique combined. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic!
Best commendatore ever!!! 'verraaaaaaaaaaai' is also probably the best 'verrai' ever sung by a commendatore.
marcello shaunard best I’ve heard
.la voce di Taddeo entra nell' anima ed è gioia che fa paura.
Es cierto que hay cierto ritmo lento, pero es sublime. Una de las cimas del cerebro humano. Esos dos acordes con los que comienza, que se presentan en la obertura, aún me ponen los pelos de punta.
Gracias!!!
Magnificent!

much better than any of the other videos....he's amazing. I'm not even an opera fanatic and I can clearly tell the difference.
Finally found it! Been looking for this version of the Commendatore scene for quite some time.
Fantastic!!!
