5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!, June 12, 2005

E. Savadge "G&S Lover" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Gilbert & Sullivan: H.M.S. Pinafore (Audio CD)

This is the best recording of H.M.S. Pinafore that I have ever heard. Jean Hindmarsh(as Josephine) has a superb voice. It is sung with ethusiasm and is fun to listen to(if not the easiest thing to sing to!) I would recomend this to any G&S lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, October 23, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Gilbert & Sullivan: H.M.S. Pinafore (Audio CD)

This recording is wonderful! It has the complete dialogue, so you can listen to it and it sounds like you're actually at the theater. I thought the music was so good, I actually saw the operetta! Any G&S fan or non-fan will love this! I even listened to it with a friend who doesn't like opera, and she found it funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, February 27, 2006

Bethanie Innes "Dolores Dadd" (Tamworth, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Gilbert & Sullivan: H.M.S. Pinafore (Audio CD)

I really enjoyed this production. It has a different style to the later D'Oyly Carte productions but it still has a great enrgy & the best cast. Jean Hindmarsh is second only to Valerie Masterson as Josephine and John Reid is the only Sir Joseph Porter worth listening to. All in all it is a great recording but make sure you have the libereto to get the most out of the great dialogue

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all true! The "Best Ever" G&S Recording?

5.0 out of 5 stars H.M.S. Pinafore CD Review
This is an excellent recording of The H.M.S. Pinafore. The recording is listed as having been made in 1959, but this must be a digital re-mastering of the original recording. Read more

I was given this recording on vinyl "when I was a lad," just before I saw the D'Oyly Carte do Pinafore, and I still have it. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Imperfect but good
This is a very good performance of one of the most popular Savoy operas. The D'Oyly Carte opera company has been known for its added bits of "bussiness" and overacting, and this... Read more
