VERDI: Falstaff (La Scala) (1932)

Falstaff was Verdi’s last opera, and stands at the very peak of his musical and dramatic achievements. It was closely based on Shakespeare’s comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor. Made in 1932, this is the first complete commercial recording of Falstaff and it includes some of the finest singers then appearing at La Scala. It demands the most meticulous ensemble preparation and under the experienced baton of Lorenzo Molajoli receives a memorably vivacious and touching performance.
