Free Music Notes for Sullivan: Mikado

Free Music Review: Great Orchestra - Lousy Cast
Hit: 3 Stars

I'll admit it, I'm a G&S nut. I was raised on it and have never tired of the fantastic music, witty lyrics, and still hilarious gags. I have performed in several productions of Pirates and the Mikado as a lead baritone. So...

As a former Pooh-Bah, I can say the one on this recording is awful. Sure Sandford is a powerful singer and has a tremendous vibrato...bur come on, get over yourself. In fact, this seems to be a common ailment throughout this era of D'Oyly Carte. The performances of the Mikado, Nanki-Poo, and Katisha are all overblown and just not fun to listen to. The notable exception is Yum-Yum, whose voice is fantastic for light opera and actually sounds like she's enjoying the role instead of the chance to display her talent.

Whatever ailments affected the singers of this time of D'Oyly Carte blessedly did not touch the orchestra. This recording is one of the best I've heard for orchestral perfection. Good balance, perfect timing, and just the right 'extras' that afficionados will recognize.

Acceptable for a listen if you check in out from the library, but don't spend the money to add this to your collection.
