Okay, so I forgive you your unfortunate opinions on Falstaff, because Sam West is fabulous :D I too wish I'd seen that production; everything I've read about it indicates that it was brilliant indeed.
There is, however, a radio version (well, "version" isn't quite right, because the cast is different) the BBC did a few years ago; it's readily available though you have to get it through amazon.co.uk. Sam writes in Players of Shakespeare 6 that in the radio version his Richard II was less snarky and more weepy than he was in the stage version, but it's an excellent recording. (Sadly Damian Lewis' Bolingbroke doesn't work for me, unless I view the production through slash goggles. ;) )
