4.0 out of 5 stars String of Pearls, 30 Dec 2003
By A Customer
This recording has now been reissued by DECCA at mid price with the original L.P. art work.

Of course everyone has personal favourites amongst the G & S recorded repertoire and certainly for me PRINCESS IDA is far more immediate, far better paced, in the 1953 recording, but suffers from an ageing Victoria Sladen in the title role. The 1965 recording presented here, has the advantage of Elizabeth Harwood and also the young Valerie Masterson making her recording debut as Melissa.

John Reed as King Gama is remarkably subdued for him, but then he has little to do and the lack of dialogue deprives him of much of his vehicle. Kenneth Sandford however, turns in a wonderful King Hildebrand.

Hilarion (Philip Potter) and his friends have great fun in Act Two and the second act finale is a highlight.

Sir Malcolm Sargent's pacing may be more relaxed but in general this is a beautiful recording.
