3.0 out of 5 stars Good way to get to know Gilbert and Sullivan..., June 20, 2000

This review is from: Operettas: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Really now, there is way too much Gilbert and Sullivan in this. Many other people wrote operettas too! Well, there is a little Lehar. But there needs to be more! I thought a little Candide by Bernstein should have been in there too. But the Gilbert and Sullivan excerpts are nothing to be ashamed of. They are done well. A little too operatic. And I just know some of these overtures will delight you. Average recording. Average playing. There's my two cents.
