Title: You get exactly what you expect from Sargent in Sullivan
Product review: I suppose most people know what to suspect here; a series of light overtures which are enjoyable but - as opposed to what English reviewers tend to say - not particularly memorable. Sargent knows, of course, how to bring out the best of them in terms of humour and lightheartedness. The Pro Arte Orchestra is not the Berlin Philharmonics, and the playing is sometimes a little rough. Sound quality is a little rough as well - these recordings frankly show their age - but for an affordable collection of these pieces, I think this is still the top choice.
