This is a lovely performance featuring a cast of nearly all British Singers. Geraint Evans was the ideal Falstaff . The Australian John Shaw is a perfect foil. The French Luisa Bosabalian is a fluttery but enchanting Alice Ford. Elizabeth Robson and Duncan Robertson are lovely young lovers Nanetta and Fenton. Minor roles - so important to support the principals - provide strong support. The parts are sung by francis Egerton, Ian Wallace and Dennis Brandt. a fine , mainly British cast. I cannot fault this set which is in very good sound.

Wonderful performance, Evans sounds better in the small Kings Theatre and he did at times at the Garden. John Shaw a great baritone in a role that suited him to a tee(in fact he was a very good Verdi baritone)Bainbridge in one of her first Quickly's and brilliant and good to have. Bosbalian a very good soprano whom I have a soft spot for as she was my first Mimi, again with Scottish opera with George Shirley as Rodolfo.The rest of the cast are indeed made up of Scottish singers except for Sarti,and very good they are , great ensemble work and Gibson is on form.
