A cast of suitably operatic stature performs under Sir Malcom Sargent, including Richard Lewis, Elsie Morrison, Owen Brannigan and, as the strolling jester Jack Point, Sir Geraint Evans. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Peter Massocchi (bass), Pamela Helen Stephen (mezzo), Neill Archer (tenor), Peter Hoare (tenor), Alwyn Mellor (soprano), Donald Adams (bass-baritone), Clare O'Neill (soprano), John King (bass), Richard Suart (baritone), Felicity Palmer (contralto), Gareth Rhys-Davies (baritone), Ralph Mason (tenor), Philip Lloyd Evans (baritone), Donald Maxwell (baritone). Welsh National Opera Orchestra, Sir Charles Mackerras “Between them, The Yeomen of the Guard and Trialby Jury contain all that's best in Sullivan's music for the theatre. In the former there's some of his more serious and ambitious writing, in the latter some of his most consistently light-hearted and engaging. All of this is brought out in Telarc's series of recordings with Welsh National Opera.
As always, Sir Charles Mackerras paces the music impeccably, and he has assured contributions from such stalwarts as Donald Adams, Felicity Palmer and Richard Suart. The last-named may be a shade light-voiced compared with some of the more comic performers of Jack Point and the Learned Judge; but in The Yeomen it's surely his performance that stands out. His handling of the dialogue after 'Here's a man of jollity' is masterly, and his 'Oh, a private buffoon' is as winning as any, with impeccable clarity of diction and a perfectly judged French accent for 'jests… imported from France'.
Neill Archer and Alwyn Mellor are admirable as Fairfax and Elsie; but Pamela Helen Stephen could have displayed more of the minx in Phoebe Meryll's personality, while in Trial byJury Barry Banks has too small a voice to convince as the Defendant. Recommended, especially if you want both works on the same set.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

29 May 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Sir William Schwenck Gilbert – the librettist of one of the most famous musical partnerships in music history. Decca’s earliest recordings of G&S with the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company were made between 1949 and 1955 in MONO. In 1957, the first in a new series of stereo recordings was initiated with The Pirates of Penzance, culminating in 1966 with The Sorcerer; between 1967 and 1979 a second series of recordings was made. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
