Awards and reviews
May 1964
Geraint Evans has deservedly earned great praise for his splendid characterisation and singing of Falstaff ... in all this is a very good-humoured and well-rounded portrait of the part ... this new issue is imbued with fun, laughter and excitement, and it is exceedingly well-performed as a whole, with fine precision in the orchestral detail and the ensembles.
