Title: spares the rod...
Review: I agree with the over all review given prior, except with the amount of stars giving. Because this is the only recording available is not a good reason to give anything above a two. The poor quality of the recording and the generally poor quality of the preformance are often painfull to listen to.I consider myself a great fan of Sir Arthur Sullivan's music and have yet to hear a piece that I didn't like as long as it is preformed well and the sound quality is decent and this album falls short on both counts.Sadly many who listen to this cd will be listening to this opera for the first time and turned off from it for all the wrong reasons.If you wish to buy this cd to simply own all of Sullivans works on disk than buy it but if you wish to own it for listening enjoyment than save your pennies.
