Product Description
CD87922 Verdi: Falstaff CSO/Solti '85
Verdi: Falstaff Orchestra Hall, Chicago April 1985 Broadcast
Alice Ford -- Katia Ricciarelli Nannetta -- Kathleen Battle Mistress Quickly -- Christa Ludwig Meg Page -- Ann Murray Falstaff -- Guillermo Sarabia Ford -- Wolfgang Brendel Fenton -- Yordi Ramiro Dr. Caius -- Heinz Zednik Bardolph -- Francis Egerton Pistol -- Aage Haugland
Chicago Symphony & Chorus
Conductor – Sir Georg Solti
To my surprise, this performance has never been available before on Opera-share. I recently unearthed the cassettes which I recorded myself (final radio announcements included). I attended this same cast when Falstaff was performed at Carnegie Hall after the Chicago run and it was a delightful performance. Of special interest is the ethereal Nanetta of Kathleen Battle (just two months after her star-making Semele), a role I don't believe she ever sang before or since.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
