Verdi composed Falstaff at age 80, creating his final opera and one of his greatest achievements. This 1987 CBS recording features Leonard Bernstein conducting the Wiener Philharmoniker and Wiener Staatsopernchor, bringing characteristic warmth and theatrical flair to Shakespeare's story. Based on The Merry Wives of Windsor, Falstaff glitters with wit, rapid-fire orchestration, and melodies that sparkle with intelligence. The opera moves at breakneck pace, full of comic invention and musical sophistication. Bernstein captures the piece's subtle humor and the ensemble's precision, making it exhilarating. This is Verdi at his most refined, where comedy and profound musicianship walk hand in hand. Essential for anyone discovering late Verdi.
