CD Reviews

Great Sampling of Gilbert & Sullivan Gems

Peter Prainito | Lombard, IL USA | 08/22/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Gilbert & Sullivan have been well-served on disc and this compliation of 22 tracks taken from of some of their most popular operettas is certainly no exception. Contained here are tuneful hits from HMS Pinafore, Pirates of Penzance, Iolanthe, Mikado, Patience, and the Gondoliers. These performances are taken from the complete sets by Sir Malcolm Sargent conducting the Pro Arte Orchestra, Glyndebourne Festival Chorus, and several outstanding soloists. I own several of these complete operettas by this group and can attest to their excellence in both singing and orchestral playing. I feel these performances are the best available, and that's a huge compliment given the fine competition. I love playing this disc in my car whenever I'm in a Gilbert & Sullivan "greatest hits" mood. Whether you're a novice or veteran to these works, you can't beat this highly enjoyable CD. Recommended!"
