Mozart: Don Giovanni (OAMO6003D) (2005)<br /> <br /> Carlos Álvarez (Don Giovanni); María Bayo (Donna Anna); José Bros (Don Ottavio); Sonia Ganassi (Donna Elvira); Lorenzo Regazzo (Leperello); Chorus and Orchestra of Teatro Real; Víctor Pablo Pérez<br /> <br /> Lluis Pasqual's powerful production for the Spanish capital sets Da Ponte's timeless story of sleaze and seduction into the dark world of 1940s Spain. Carlos Álvarez, in the title role, toys with the affections of Donna Anna, Zerlina and the Spanish lady Donna Elvira, before his overpowering methods finally bring his own destruction.<br /> <br /> "José Bros is a luxurious Don Ottavio, with an excellent high register, perfect diction and an exquisite vocal elegance. Alvarez is the perfect Trickster of Seville. Victor Pablo Pérez, one of the most reputed conductors of the Spanish scene, manages a crystal clear work, very attentive to the beauty of Mozart’s score." (La Razón)
