Free Music Notes for Gilbert & Sullivan: H.M.S. Pinafore

Free Music Review: The Ultimate G&S Recording
Hit: 5 Stars

This recording is the D'Oyly Carte's most highly praised recording. That praise is not given in vain. Everything here is fabulous. Fabulous cast, fabulous orchestra, fabulous sound (especially for 1959), and a fabulous price.

John Reed does noticeably better on this recording than he does in the later, 1971 Phase4 Pinafore. He catches the dry humor of Sir Joseph perfectly, and is excellently matched by Jeffery Skitch's flexible Captain Corcoran. Skitch is the only baritone I know of who recorded "Fair moon" in the higher D-major key. Most stick with the C major version.

Thomas Round is a model Ralph ("Rafe") Rackstraw, with Jean Hindmearsh singing well as Josephine opposite him.

My only reservation (though it is hardly even that) is Joyce Wright as Hebe. She does excellently, but does not impart the humor of her part as delightfully as Pauline Wales did in the 1971 recording.

This Pinafore beats all others. It contains dialogue, sounding as though it were performed live. This recording should be the basis to any G&S fan's collection!
