This review is from: Mozart - Don Giovanni / Siepi [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The acting is the strong point of this version of Don Giovanni. The real trouble is that though the singing seems quite well done, particularly the male roles, the sound quality is really poor. It is probably worth watching just to see the excellient way Siepi plays the Don, but the soprano voices particularly suffer from the acoustics and/or the recording. The orchestra is often recorded too far forward which also obscures the vocals. Really, your purchase of this video will depend more on whether the historical interest is enough to offset the very real deficiencies in the sound.
