Review title: Never letting this one go
Product review: I will never buy another recorded version of "Don Giovanni." My search ended here. I've listened to a few others over and over, and after a while they start to fall apart at the seams: the sopranos are too grating, whatever. I like everything about Karajan's performance. Which is good, because this is one opera I listen to frequently. Sure, the "La ci darem" here isn't the best I've heard, but it isn't bad. (That was Furtwangler's version, by the way.) The Stone Guest scene doesn't disappoint in the least. I'd say this is the most solid, all-around satisfying "Don Giovanni" of the modern age.
