Herbert von KarajanAbout
His Falstaff sparkles with Italianate brio and temperament, qualities due not least to his cast of singers imported from Milan. At their head is Tito Gobbi as Shakespeare's fat knight, his performance capturing not only the comedy and down-at-heel disreputability of the character but also his innate nobility. The other singers include Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Anna Moffo, Rolando Panerai and Luigi Alva, all of them familiar from studio recordings of the opera, while Giulietta Simionato's Mistress Quickly is endowed with the necessary ‘chest’ to invest her role with both humour and conviction.
