This scene is usually omitted from Mozart's Don Giovanni. It was included in a commercial recording for I believe the first time in this 1968 recording. Marilyn Horne makes an unusually delightful Zerlina, backed by Donald Gramm, a Leporello that brings out the humor of his part without histrionics.

Act 2 Duet: "Restati qua, restati qua!... Per questi tue manine"

Zerlina drags Leporello by his ear to a chair, where she ties him up and threatens to shave him with just the razor. In the final recit, she shows Elvira her prize and reasons that they should get Don Ottavio before doing anything...serious. The scene flows directly into Elvira's scene, "In quali eccessi, o numi.... Mi tradì."
