CD Reviews

Almost first generation performances to revel in

07/07/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The performances on this selection of G&S are so numerous and varied that it is difficult to 'pin-point' a preference. But, I would have to choose the rendition by Nellie Briercliffe as Phoebe, in 'Were I thy bride'. The sheer character of the part leaps at you combined with a delicious sense of the humour, to make this performance easily the winner. No other rendition of this music has been equalled. The bonus of the Gondoliers and Pirates of Penzance make for a bargain release. My only quibble is the choice of the electric recording of the 1936 Mikado. A better choice would have been the 1926 recording with Sir Henry Lytton as Ko-Ko. The transfers would require some cosmetic choices to 'clean up' the hisses and other background noises, but it would have been far more interesting and in keeping with the 'Best' of Gilbert and Sullivan performances. As for purchasing this release, I whole-heartedly support you in doing so. Have nostalgic fun!"

A Must for Savoyards

"This nostalgic CD contains recordings of singers who actually rehearsed with Gilbert and Sullivan. The beautiful quality of these voices makes me wish I could have seen these wonderful performers on stage. Since this wish is impossible, this CD is the next best thing."
