Solti’s vigorous interpretation of Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ is represented by a generous selection of highlights and includes some of the finest singers of our generation.

The reissue of this recording marks a double celebration – the bicentenary of Verdi’s birth and the centenary of Solti’s. Solti’s second recording of Verdi’s Falstaff returns to the catalogue. Recorded ‘live’ at the Philharmonie in Berlin, it boasts a thoroughly imaginative cast and magnificent recorded sound.
