First complete recording of the authentic version
Of one of GILBERT and SULLIVAN's most beloved Operas
To follow up the release of the English National Opera recording
of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado, JAY Records is proud to
announce the second in the Gilbert and Sullivan series, HMS PINAFORE.
This will coincide with the premiere of the greatly anticipated
new Mike Leigh movie on the life of Gilbert and Sullivan this
summer. This complete recording of the authentic version of HMS
PINAFORE, with synopsis and sleeve notes prepared by Britain's
leading authority on the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, Dr. David
Russell Hulme, features the soloists, chorus and orchestra of
The NEW SADLER'S WELLS OPERA, conducted by Simon Phipps. It was
recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London in Digital
Stereo. This recording is now the recommended recording by both
The Penquin Guide to Opera on Compact Discs and The Gramophone
CD Guide, over and above the old Decca and EMI recordings.
