RECORDING INFORMATION The great Welsh baritone Sir Geraint Evans was, for many people, the most outstanding Falstaff of the 20th Century. On this sparklingly energetic recording under Sir Georg Solti he is joined by a superbly balanced ensemble cast which includes Mirella Freni as a wondrously sung Nanetta. "Geraint Evans has deservedly earned great praise for his splendid characterisation and singing of Falstaff ... in all this is a very good-humoured and well-rounded portrait of the part ... this new issue is imbued with fun, laughter and excitement, and it is exceedingly well-performed as a whole, with fine precision in the orchestral detail and the ensembles." Gramophone May 1964 CLASSIC OPERA is a new specially priced series which sees the welcome return to the catalogue of outstanding opera recordings from both Decca and Philips.
