Verdi: Falstaff - Stabile, Tebaldi, Noni, Valletti, Elmo; De Sabata. Milano, 1951

$9.95



Description:

This performance of Falstaff brings together an exuberant cast that revels in every moment of Verdi's masterpiece. Most notable is the Alice Ford of Renata Tebaldi. In 1951, Tebaldi was still a relative newcomer, and her fresh, radiant tone and effortless top notes serve her beautifully in this role.

Mariano Stabile delivers a younger, more vibrant Falstaff than one might expect, his high baritone brimming with character. The two lovers, portrayed by Cesare Valletti and Alda Noni, are equally commendable, adding charm and vitality to the performance.

The sound quality is good, and the entire production bursts with energy and life, making for an unforgettable interpretation of this operatic gem.
