Two wonderful operas I like very much but Artaserse for me
I hope Otero comes back to Terradellas, I would be interested in hearing more
Verdi: Falstaff
Bryn Terfel (Falstaff), Thomas Hampson (Ford), Adrianne Pieczonka (Alice Ford), Danill Shtoda (Fenton), Dorothea Röschmann (Nannetta), Larissa Diadkova (Mistress Quickly), Stella Doufexis (Meg Page), Anthony Mee (Bardolfo), Enrico Facini (Dr Cajus), Anatoly Kotcherga (Pistola)
Berliner Philharmoniker, Rundfunkchor Berlin, Claudio Abbado
Studio recording, 2001
MET production still much better than Imagination theatre production.
I like this recording perhaps even more than Solti's later Chicago. I think this one is more bubbly*, despite Solti saying his later work was made lighterThis one.

*technical musical term
Knowing what tenors can be like.....

I have just put this on spotify. I've only been familiar with Barenboim's recording of this prior to now. I might check out a few versions of Lohengrin in the next few days.....

I prefer the Janowski, although this is good too.

Intense and dark colours, flavoured with beautiful melodies inspired by Slavonic folk music.
Really kicking myself for missing the broadcast of Die Walküre from Bayreuth.
But I'm listening to this, which is amazing anyway.
