"Playful", that's exactly the problem.
As interpreted by the Amadeus the post-
Don Giovanni Mozart sounds superficial
and unidimensional, stuck in an eternally
blissful cotton-candy wonderland.

Obviously a matter of taste, not to mention
the logic of the above statement also seems
flawed. Are you suggesting that all works
Meowszart meowed post Don Giovanni should
be performed in a more "serious" fashion,
and that none of them can be joyful and
playful?

The Italiano go deeper below the surface

I don't know what you are talking about.
The phrase above sounds like literary
speculation. Music has no "surface".

without hiding shadows, wounds and scars,

Again.

the acoustic counterpart of Mörike's
Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag.

Literary speculation again. I hear sounds
and I like or dislike them, enjoy or don't
enjoy them. I don't care wha the literati
say about music.
The Italiano sounds cloying to my ears
like overcooked paste sticking to the
