The highlight of the Mozart Year 2006 in Prague takes place at the Estates Theatre. The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Manfred Honeck performs the most famous compositions by W.A. Mozart related to Prague: Overture to “Don Giovanni”, “Prague Symphony” and the Clarinet Concerto with the excellent Sharon Kam on the clarinet.
The Estates Theatre is one of the most beautiful historical theatres in Europe. Part of its charm, magic, and value lies in its historical significance, from the musical career of Mozart to modern times. In 1787 Mozart conducted here the premiere of "Don Giovanni".

Once upon a time , Mozart was standing in that same theatre , in the same spot ,conducting this particular overture....goosepumps!

[@harrynking777]

Indeed, that is incredible. What an honour for a conductor.

Procrastinators stand up for our anthem!

[@MendTheWorld]

I see no purpose in using the very same word-procrastinator-to describe both Mozart and myself. It kind-of loses its meaning when this magnificent overture is the net result in the one case versus in the other. 🙁

@@MendTheWorld the way I see it, and you can agree to disagree is that being a genius is not a part of the equation. Pushing things to the last minute is procrastinating, and whether you can get away with it because of a special gift or not does not change that definition, don't you think?

[@erendiramunoz831]

Actually, Mozart made this the night before the premiere, his wife made him company by making him coffee or reading him poems (this made him sleepy so she stopped and just sat there watching him writing and by waking him up when he took quick naps on the couch). Personally, I think of the tiredness or the lack of time (I mean he delivered the whole opera except for the overture, because that was his style of composing) the first part of the overture is the "commendatore" scene and the final part is "The marriage of Fígaro" overture. He recycled his music in this overture. Which is understandable as his wife said that he was so tired that he took a "quick nap" at 4 and she was not able to wake him up until half past 6 in the morning. He finished quickly everything and by 9 in the morning, he was already rehearsing with the orchestra and by 7 or 8 the opera was played for the first time. Musicians must have had excellent first sight reading and interpretation to have it ready in such short notice.

Extraño final de la overtura

[@JohannaA.5013]

From 0:43 to 2:40 is what made d minor become my favourite key (with his Requiem, naturally). I've never heard before such Darkness. Of course, for me is disappointing the piece changes to that "Happiness Dictatorship" from the Classical Era. The same goes for Mozart's Piano Concerto 20 (K. 466): That last movement did not need modulation. At least _Der Hölle Rache_ gives us anguish from start to end. No surprise, I'm an appreciator of the Romantic Era.

[@daybreak5915]

Happiness Dictatorship? You mean the reflections of the opera's sickly humor and seduction?... 1003. Don Giovanni has two hands and they know what the other does--they're clasp together before the Commendatore. The humor that invites a murder man to dinner cries out when he arrives. Unless, of course, Mozart, under the spell of a stereotyped Spirit, forced some kind of giddiness into a piece minutes before a rape appears. What a horrible crime. Mozart out-rapes the Don. Deflowering his eternal work before the three minutes mark. But now--in this act--our Don Mozart is raped. The Spirit of Classical Happiness has gone beyond the transcendent raping of Mozart and reduced it all, all that anguish, to nothing. This is your vision of great anguish from start to start to start. "How strange a thing is what men call pleasure! How wonderful is its relation to pain, which seems to be the opposite of it! They will not come to a man together; but if he pursues the one and gains it, he is almost forced to take the other also, as if they were two distinct things united at one end."
