5.0 out of 5 stars An Original Treat, 11 Aug 2005
By A Customer
As a fellow reviewer has noted "this is the authentic Sullivan". Yes indeed! The band parts for this production were transcribed from Sullivan's autographed manuscript score. As also noted the original Act Two is retained although it has to be noted that it is the second version of the finale that is used. Here the reprise of "O happy the lily" is presented in common time. For the initial few performances it was sung in 6/8 as in the Act One Finale. It's a pity that as with the TER/New Sadler's Wells HMS PINAFORE we could not have been given all the various versions of the Finale. Also missing is Robin's "Henceforth all the crimes" which replaced "For thirty-five years". Again the inclusion of this number as an appendix would have been nice, as would the Geoffrey Toye version of the overture which actually was recorded and released on an overture disc some years later.

However, these are minor quibbles considering that we have here the most complete original version of an opera that has been so consistently butchered since it's first appearance in 1887. It would have been good for a good singer to be cast as Sir Despard - Harold Innocent manages very well but he is foremost an actor and does not have the strength of voice to give the part the real force it needs.

It would also have been good to have the dialogue, there is room on the discs but this again is a quibble. Dialogue always seems to be a matter of contention with G & S and I never could understand why when Strauss, Offenbach, Lehar et al are usually recorded with at least abridged dialogue if not all.

Nevertheless - an excellent recording to be highly recommended.

This is the authentic Sullivan production. It retains the original Act 2. You won't find that anywhere else.
