Carlo Maria GiuliniAbout
This recording featuring a Glyndebourne production of Verdi’s Falstaff, given in 1955 at the Edinburgh Festival, is unique since, after extensive research, it has never been published before in any form.
This 1955 performance marked Giulini’s UK debut. The Times said, ‘in the final analysis, it was Mr Giulini’s direction which ensured the opera’s success’, and headlined the review by emphatically stating ‘A wonderful production’.
The Times reviewed Fernando Corena’s fresh interpretation of Falstaff as follows: ‘Mr Corena’s Falstaff is admirable because it is creditable … he gave us immense dignity, clarity of word, tone, line, and dramatic authority’. Walter Monachesi’s Ford was likewise praised for ‘the excellence of his vocal delivery and unusual dramatic expressiveness’.
The Times also noted: ‘The four women were wonderfully well differentiated, the Quickly of Oralia Dominguez having a touch of succulence that Falstaff renounced and the Alice of Anna Maria Rovere being all sparkle in voice and appearance’.
