Johannes Weisser propose une interprétation vocale du Roi, dont la pulsion dramatique dans les récitatifs et les outrages latents (mais habilement intégrés) dans ses coloratures exigeantes s'unissent avec un ton doux et sincère que le baryton norvégien maîtrise sur toute la tessiture.
Weisser was a tremendous Giovanni, commanding the stage throughout, both vocally and dramatically. There’s a youthfulness to the tone that I find absolutely engaging and ideal for the part. He brought out a handsome seductiveness in the serenade (...) with an impeccable legato and ornamentation that enhanced the line. The champagne aria was dispatched with extrovert ease without compromising on the beauty of the tone. So much of Giovanni’s character is created in the recitatives and here Weisser really used the text fully to illustrate the character, thereby giving him the impact to carry the show.
Johannes Weisser is in itself a musical highlight. ... His distinctive powerful baritone hovers in the stage room and adds a special weight to the musical expression.
