Riccardo Muti conducts a sublime cast, headed by Thomas Allen in the title role of the great seducer, in the 1987 La Scala recording of Mozart and Da Ponte's tale of lust and subversion. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.
Press Reviews"A rare operatic detour on the part of a great theatre director, Giorgio Strehler, it does bear a distinctive theatrical stamp… Thomas Allen's Giovanni (in splendidly aristocratic form) and Claudio Desderi's Leporello enact a limitlessly fascinating central relationship, and Susanne Mentzer is a delicious Zerlina. " (BBC Music Magazine ★★★)
