Title: Topsy-Turvy Soundtrack
Review: Ths review is from the movie, not the soundtrack, which I have not heard. But since the soundtrack is from the movie, which I have watched many times, I think reviewing the soundtrack from seeing the movie only, is valid. The movie was superb, so good that I hate to quibble. But I thought the one weakness in the movie was the performance of the musical numbers by the cast, who are, after all, actors and not musical performers. The articulation, so important in G & S, does not measure up to that of good Savoyard performers, nor do the voices, nor does the staging (not evident on the soundtrack of course). For really top notch renditions of the songs, one must go to the many CD's available of G & S operettas performed by professional Savoyards. Sorry, because the movie was so great, but there it is.
