CD Reviews

Who needs Gilbert all the time?

F. Behrens | Keene, NH USA | 05/04/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It would be very interesting to compare Sullivan's music for The Merry Wives with that of Verdi, Niccolai, and Vaughan Williams. Sullivan does not come out last by any means. His King Arthur selections are wonderful, showing the Celtic strain in his musical DNA; and his Macbeth is as good as Verdi's--but there does not seem much one can do with translating that brooding play into music. A very good choice even or especially for those who prefer not to hear Gilbert's lyrics for the millionth time."
