Verdi: Falstaff (Giuseppe Taddei, baritone; Saturno Meletti, baritone; Emilio Renzi, tenor; Gino Del Signore, tenor; Giuseppe Nessi, tenor; Cristiano Dalla Mangas, bass; Rosanna Carteri, soprano; Lina Pagliughi, soprano; Anna Maria Canali, mezzo-soprano; Amalia Pini, mezzo-soprano; orchestra and chorus of Radio Italiana, Mario Rossi conducting; Cetra-Soria, 6 sides LP).

...Madrid as well. With no capable successor to hand, Generalissimo Franco split Mola's command in two. To the Bilbao front went General José Fidel Davila, a desk officer who had been head of the "technical junta." Put in charge of the Madrid, Aragón and Soria fronts was bleary-eyed old General Andres Saliquet, who looks very much like Cartoonist Bruce Bairnsfather's famed Old Bill...
