Mozart-Backhaus Don Giovanni Serenade Valentina Lisitsa

Insanely ( and I mean it :-)))) difficult transcription of Mozart’s famous aria by Wilhelm Backhaus, who is probably best known nowadays for his incomparable Beethoven and Brahms, but was certainly one of the most incredible virtuoso pianists ever. There is a recording of this piece by him ( easily found on YouTube). There is, honestly, no way to “beat“ that. The only thing I can boast of :) is a better recording technology 100 years later. :-))) “Deh, vieni alla finestra, Don Giovanni’s aria from Don Giovanni Deh, vieni alla finestra, o mio tesoro, O come to the window, beloved; Deh, vieni a consolar il pianto mio. O come and dispel all my sorrow! Se neghi a me di dar qualche ristoro, If you refuse me some solace, Davanti agli occhi tuoi morir vogl’io! before you dear eyes I will die. Tu ch’hai la bocca dolce piщ del miele, Your lips are sweeter than honey, Tu che il zucchero porti in mezzo al core! your heart is sweetness itself:
