“… a true joy to the eye as Bryn Terfel dazzles us with stature, voice and gesture…” (Diapason)
“The magnificent voice, personality and acting ability of Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel combine for a vivid portrait of Falstaff. There are other outstanding performances by Bernadette Manca di Nissa, Barbara Frittoli, Roberto Frontali, Kenneth Tarver, and Desiree Rancatore. Through, Music Director Bernard Haitink brilliant conveys the zest and magic of Verdi’s score.” (The Patriot Ledger)
“deliciously comic production … vividly filmed…The singers are on top form, dominated by Terfel’s Falstaff…” (Musical Opinion)
