About "Don Giovanni, K. 527, Act I : Mozart: Don Giovanni, K. 527, Act I: No. 13, Finale: i-j. Ecco il birbo – Trema, o scellerato (Live at Royal Festival Hall, London, 1996)" by Ann Murray
Live at Royal Festival Hall, this Don Giovanni finale crackles with theatrical danger: 'Ecco il birbo' is a trapdoor opening under a feast. Murray’s ensemble whips between comic bluster and genuine menace, the tension strung taut as a violin string before the statue’s fatal knock.
