Music reviews of The Complete Gilbert & Sullivan (Box Set)Music Review: Original is Still the Best Rating: 5 StarsI've enjoyed this set for many years, and it continues to be an unbounded joy. Sound quality, considering the limitations of analog recording over the period from 1959 to 1977 that these operettas were produced, is overall excellent, certainly not as quiet as digital recordings, but still a full-bodied analog sound with minimal background noise. The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company has a long-standing tradition with G&S (most of these operettas were originally introduced by the first D'Oyly Carte ensemble in the 1880's). Their experience, professionalism and witty humor shines through in ways that no other recorded group can possibly match. The cast includes some of the finest interpreters of G&S such as Donald Adams and John Reed, performers who have honed their skills from hundreds of live performances, certainly among the greatest G&S casts ever assembled.
While other box sets such as the Sargent series might have superior orchestras or more professional opera singers, it is the humanity that wins one over to the D'Oyly series, the casts are clearly having the time of their lives, and so will you - and isn't this the heart of Gilbert's librettos, an all-encompassing satire that demolishes everything in its path and leaves you laughing with joy?
As other reviewers have commented, not all of the recordings include the dialog, most of the key ones do, and that is unfortunate since the words adds structure to the operattas by telling the story as you go, plus much of the dialog is as witty and fun as the songs. In spite of this, you won't have trouble following the stories, and the pleasures of this box set vastly overwhelm any minor limitations such as this one.
It's no wonder that Groucho Marx derived so much of his humor from W.S. Gilbert, nor that these Victorian relics remain as popular and timely today as they ever have - this is great art and great fun, delivered by the most seasoned group ever to record these classics. This is the most complete G&S box set, and while some of the lesser obscurities such as the Zoo or Cox and Box may never be listened more than once, every dedicated G&S fan must hear them at least once. It also includes some nice G&S related items such as the Pineapple Poll, a pastiche of familiar Sullivan melodies. If you are looking to explore this wonderful topsy-turvy world, and want the most complete and most fun series to enjoy, I don't see how you can go wrong with this set, a desert island choice if ever there was one!
