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. Also like his Mikado, the overture is omitted, allowing the opera to be issued musically-complete on a single disc. The musical values are superb, making this an excellent choice for the budget-conscious.
