3.0 out of 5 stars Laid Back, 27 Nov 2003
By A Customer
A bit of a missed opportunity here. Obviously the intention was to produce a disc containing all the Gilbert and Sullivan Overtures plus Sullivan's COX AND BOX. Sadly the performances, although competent, are lack lustre and despite plenty of time on the disc the original overture to RUDDIGORE is not present (the Toye revision is included here) and the overture to UTOPIA LIMITED has been missed out completely.

However, it is good to have the SORCERER, IDA and GRAND DUKE overtures present on the same disc and also good to have the works presented in chronological order.

3.0 out of 5 stars Curate's Egg but Good Value for Money, 9 Jan 2004
By E. I. Warburton "iwarburton_2000" (Prudhoe, Northumberland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
All of these overtures, save the Grand Duke, have been familiar to me for several decades but I enjoyed hearing them played in chronological order--uncannily effective. But I have a slight sensation of conducting by committee--Andrew Penny seems to be trying to assimilate the styles of several different G and S conductors of yesteryear and it doesn't quite gel together. The recording, too, doesn't present quite enough detail, especially in the strings. Nonetheless, this is issued at a very competitive price and if the programme is exactly what you want this should not be completely overlooked.
