Free Music Notes for Gilbert & Sullivan - The Mikado / WNO · Mackerras Album
Free Music Review: Very affordable--and yet something suffers
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a very affordable version of The Mikado. To get everything on disc, the packagers completely cut the overture (which isn't by Sullivan anyway, so it's not a big loss) and a verse of the List Song (a tremendous loss). The singers are mostly culled from the world of opera, and as a plus you get to hear a first-class Nanki-Poo in Johnston. Unfortunately, though, Gilbert and Sullivan isn't at its best when it's sung by opera singers: it's at its best when performed by trained G&S singers who can bring humor into their roles and who have terrific diction. Many of the jokes are simply ignored in the version: the Katisha has no fun at all with the close of Act I (which can be very, very funny if done right) and Marie McLaughlin as Yum-Yum sometimes suffers from mushmouth--it's as if she were singing songs in a language other than English.
