Gilbert & Sullivan’s Savoy Operas, with their witty and tuneful compositions, defy classification. Audiences have loved them since they were first seen during the second half of the 19th Century.
The combination of Gilbert’s brilliant satirical writing with Sullivan’s catchy melodies and exhilarating rhythms gave the Victorian public a humorous, stylised and chaste entertainment - which they took to their hearts.
This unsurpassed recording features Sir Malcolm Sargent conducting the Glyndebourne Festival Chorus and Pro Arte Orchestra, performing excerpts from The Mikado, Trial by Jury, HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Iolanthe, Ruddigore, The Gondoliers and Yeomen of the Guard.
