Sullivan, A: Patience

Sullivan, A: Patience


The complete recording of Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic opera ‘Patience’, which been unavailable for the last two years and is now being released at mid price. ‘Patience’ was staged in 1881, and was a playful satire on the artistic ‘aesthetic movement’ of the time, and the many colourful poets and artists that comprised it. These include Oscar Wilde (who famously toured the USA at the same time as the Opera in order to help audiences understand more fully what the satire was about), Algernon Charles Swinburne, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and James McNeill Whistler, among others.

As with Magdalen’s The Mikado (METCD8002), D’Oyly Carte’s 1957 recording of The Pirates of Penzance has always been considered to be one of the liveliest and best sung performances of this work made since the war.

With so many highlights it is difficult to know where to start but pride of place must go to Thomas Round, whose Frederic is unmatched. Peter Pratt’s acting experience shows in his interpretation of the Major-General. Donald Adams and Jean Hindmarsh complete a magnificent cast recorded in superb early stereo.

Bonus items never before released on CD include G & S medleys for Harry Davidson’s dance band and Ralph Hunter’s choral versions of evergreens from G & S arranged in a way that anticipates the Broadway Pirates.

The Very Best of Gilbert & Sullivan


CD 1

The Mikado

[1] Three little maids from school are we

[2] A wand'ring minstrel I

[3] On a tree by a river a little tom tit

[4] Behold the Lord High Executioner

[5] As some day it may happen that a victim must be found

[6] The sun, whose rays are all ablaze

[7] Here's a how-de-do!

[8] The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la

[9] There is beauty in the bellow of the blast

[10] For he's gone and married Yum-Yum

H.M.S. Pinafore

[11] When I was a lad

[12] I'm called little Buttercup

[13] Never mind the why and wherefore

[14] We shall sail the ocean blue

[15] I'm called the captain of the Pinafore

[16] Joy! Oh rapture unforeseen

Trial by Jury

[17] When I, good friends, was called to the bar

The Sorcerer

[18] My name is John Wellington Wells

Patience

[19] The soldiers of our Queen

[20] Am I alone and unobserved?

[21] If you're anxious for to shine

[22] So go to him and say to him

The Yeomen of the Guard

[23] When our gallant Norman foes

[24] I have a song to sing, O!

[25] When a maiden loves, she sits and sighs

[26] Tower warders, under orders

CD 2

The Pirates of Penzance

[1] With cat-like tread

[2] Poor wand'ring one!

[3] I am the very model of a modern Major-General

[4] When the foreman bares his steel

[5] When a felon's not engaged in his employment

Ruddigore

[6] I know a youth who loves a little maid

[7] When the night wind howls in the chimney cowls

[8] My eyes are fully open to my awful situation

Iolanthe

[9] Loudly let the trumpet bray

[10] Love unrequited

[11] If you go in you're sure to win

[12] When all night long a chap remains

[13] Said I to myself, said I

[14] When Britain really ruled the waves

The Gondoliers

[15] We're called gondolieri, but that's a vagary

[16] In enterprise of martial kind

[17] Take a pair of sparkling eyes

[18] Dance a cachucha, fandango, bolero

[19] From the sunny Spanish shore

[20]I stole the Prince

[21] Then one of us will be a queen

Princess Ida

[22] If you give me your attention

[23] The woman of the wisest wit

[24] Built upon a rock

[25] Whene'er I spoke sarcastic joke

[26] This helmet I suppose
