This was the second entry in Sir Charles Mackerras's traversal of the Savoy canon. Like his Mikado, It is anchored with G&S veterans (Donald Adams, Richard Suart and Gillian Knight), with grand opera singers in the remaining roles. As with his Mikado, the overture is omitted, allowing the opera to fit on a single disc. The musical values are superb, making this an excellent choice for the budget-conscious.
