The best of King's Singers meets the best of G&S,
By
This review is from: Here's A Howdy Do: A Gilbert & Sullivan Festival (Audio CD)
This one is a natural for me. The King's Singers are my favorite group, and Gilbert & Sullivan are my favorite shows. The King's Singers are the perfect group for G&S music, too, with their unique blend of serious musical study and just plain fun. Their medly and patter trio are two wonderfully crafted examples of G&S music, and the rest of the songs are very skillfully presented. I only wish this wonderful group would do another Gilbert & Sullivan recording.

G&S traditionalists should keep off King's Singers versions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Here's A Howdy Do: A Gilbert & Sullivan Festival (Audio CD)
The King's Singers have released a Gilbert and Sullivan compilation. This is good news to some fans, but it is (partly) not good news to traditionalists. Most of the numbers are done a cappella but in "Ghost's High Noon," "Ah, Leave Me Not," "With Catlike Tread" and "Pirate King" they have taken a considerable amount of liberty with the original, especially in "With Catlike Tread" (from Pirates of Penzance). Traditionalists should keep off that track because the accompaniment doesn't follow the original version. The medleys are very innovative. The recording dating from 1993 is splendid.

Slow and Tedious...,
By
This review is from: Here's A Howdy Do: A Gilbert & Sullivan Festival (Audio CD)
I was so disappointed in this cd, as I am a true Gilbert and Sullivan fan, and had high expectations of thiscompilation of songs that I have a fond familiarity with. A few of the cuts are pleasant enough, but more of them are sung at a snail's pace with "embellishments" that make them at times almost unrecognizable. If you enjoy traditional renditions of G&S tunes, you will want to skip this.
