4.0 out of 5 stars Feelings of {Pleasure, 15 Aug 2002
By A Customer
After listening to many recordings of The Mikado, this particular one did `Leave you with feelings of pleasure` to quote WS Gilbert.Balance twixt orchestra, chorus and soloists is finely honed; tempo good, diction superb.Minus the dialogue was no problem,and this recording with several of the wellknownD`Oyly Carte soloists romped merrily on it`s way. Incredible to think this was recorded in 1950. A wonderful trip down Memory Lane, and a recording to be listened to when your spirits need lifting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awesome performance - lousy sound from Naxos, 31 Dec 2004
By S. D. Nunn "sdholz" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OK, I gotta tell you I went ahead and clicked 'complete order' despite all the warnings from people who (in truth) I assumed were probably audiophiles ... well my setup is pretty kickass and can handle alot of subtlety when it comes to limited range, but this example of digital mastering has got to be the benchmark in bad work! I grew up with the two vinyl lps and they were my nursery rhymes - I guess my mum wanted some entertainment too LOL! Anyway, even totally battered they sound more alive than these CDs. Naxos couldn't have done a worse job of it - thick, dull, lifeless - it's as if Naxos are determined to consign this seminal performance to the tomb - I've rarely been so ready to chuck a CD away so PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION - if you want to have this particular performance do what the man (above) says and go hunt out the SOCD version - PEACE !!

2.0 out of 5 stars Stellar performance, horrible remastering, 30 Oct 2002
The performance is magnificent but the remastering is awful. I didn't think the Decca records could be made to sound so flat and lifeless. Compare the one available from Pearl (expensive but really worth it) or better still from Sounds-on-CD. Don't be without the 1950 Mikado starring Martyn Green and a gorgeous chorus, terrific Mikado and Pooh-Bah. But don't expect anything from Naxos's (uncharacteristically) poor transfer.
