In this lively account of the partnership between the legendary musical giants, Caryl Brown contrasts the lives and characters of the two gifted men -Gilbert the mocker of social convention and Sullivan the 'serious' musician, resentful that his comic operas won more acclaim than his oratorios.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A comment,
By Damien Slattery (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gilbert and Sullivan: Lost Chords and Discords (Hardcover)
Although published in the 1970s and long out-of-print this book is very enjoyable. It is a broad overview of the world of Gilbert & Sullivan, with emphasis shared on the works and lives of these remarkable men. Scores of photographs and sketches detail their theatrical era and the author avoids any kind of musical analysis. The book seems aimed at the layman (like myself) who wants all the major points of this Victorian phenomenon.
