Kathleen Battle Sul fil dun soffio etesio Nanettas Aria from Falstaff

Sir George Solti organized a lauded concert version of Falstaff in 1985 and performed it with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Chicago and also in Carnegie Hall. Though Nanetta is a small part, every review of the performance singled out Battle s contribution above all else. This is opera magic that few can ever hope to attain from the opening calling of the Dryads to the final floated note.
