Sobre este producto

In 1982, EMI published an album of G&S solos and duets featuring Valerie Masterson, the former D'Oyly Carte soprano, and Robert Tear, an English grand opera tenor with rather little G&S background. Most of the items were G&S staples, with a couple of items from Ruddigore being as adventurous as the disc got. In 1984, EMI published a considerably more interesting highlights disc called "Here's a How-De-Do" featuring Tear, Sheila Armstrong and Benjamin Luxon. Robert Tear is the common denominator between the two discs, and I find him unpersuasive: his interpretation is a bit too precious; he lacks the swagger I expect in a G&S tenor. The remaining performers are all excellent, and the second disc has the additional virtue of presenting a number of items not often heard on records, particularly two items from Haddon Hall. In 1987, EMI combined material from the two original LPs into a CD issue called "A Gilbert & Sullivan Gala." Some items were dropped, however, so that the entire package could fit on a single CD, which EMI is proud to offer you.
