Query: Ho-Hum

An ordinary performance. Recorded before a live audience at the Salzberg festival, it was broadcast in the US on PBS under the 'Great Performances' label some years ago. The musical standard is what one would expect from the likes of Karajan, Ramey, and Battle. The sets are 'stripped-down' traditional, and the camerawork is the usual three-camera set-up. One would be as well off with a CD for all the visual interest that's provided. There're three DVDs of 'Don Giovanni' available; I have them all, and I still prefer Losey's film which is not out on DVD yet.The producers of the DVD have provided quite a few extras including subtitles in the original language (hallelujah!).
