1.0 out of 5 stars can't understand the words, January 7, 2004
By H. Kraus (El Cerrito, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't know about those other reviewers, but I just can't make out very much of the lyrics. Maybe those folk have better CD players or better hearing, but it's pretty much a blur to me. I strongly recommend "The Ultimate Gilbert and Sullivan" instead.

2.0 out of 5 stars The best? I think not., January 10, 2004
By Cyberlibrarian (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This disc includes some songs that, while I like them, are not what people might consider the "best" of G&S. Of course, anything by G&S is good, it's still not the "best of the best."

There has got to be something that better represents the G&S canon.
