This recording is among the best of the Consort's efforts.
By the time it was made, they already had The
Emerald Isle and The Beauty Stone
behind them, and perhaps had better mastered the recording process too.
It also helps that this is one of the stronger operas that
Sullivan wrote without Gilbert. For details about this recording, see
Michael Walters' comparative review.
