Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Asian exclusive release of the Swiss DJ's 10th album. Includes 3 bonus tracks 'Live Medley', 'Album Megamix' & 'Amazing Life' (Commander Tom Remix). EQ Music. 2005.
In any case - most people getting this set will already have the Mikado, and very probably Pirates and Pinafore for that matter, so you're really getting it for the others.
So just for the record - someone has to say this!
The Mikado is (of course) a wonderful piece, but it enjoys its long running status as the most successful of all the G&S operettas very largely for "extra-musical" reasons. It is visually so wonderful, with all those great authentic costumes, and the whole idea of satirising English institutions by pretending they are Japanese is of course brilliantly funny.
Again, Pirates and Pinafore enjoy a lot of their acclaim simply because we have heard them so often. And at least part of the initial success of these (admittedly very funny and entertaining) pieces was the vogue for "nautical drama" on the popular Victorian stage.
Iolanthe, Ruddigore, and Yoemen are all MUCH stronger musically than any of what another reviewer here keeps calling the "trilogy". Patience, Princess Ida, and the Gondoliers all excel either "nautical" operetta, at least musically, although not, perhaps, the Mikado. And I have had a lot of fun listening to my recording of the Sorcerer - although I think most at least of the other G&S operettas are even more interesting.
As for "Trial by Jury" it is really another thing altogether - but in its kind the most perfect thing either Gilbert or Sullivan had anything to do with!
This leaves Utopia and the Grand Duke.
Both of these were produced after the long running friendship between G&S had soured, and they have been sadly neglected ever since. Utopia is none the less both musically beautiful and very funny, and well worth taking an effort to come to grips with. The main point of the satire (which many commentators and reviewers seem to miss) is the way that the English language and British (especially English) institutions were being adopted, often rather uncritically, by countries around the world (most, but not all, of them members of the British Empire, of course). India is perhaps the country Gilbert had most in mind, but you could set it in any of a dozen other countries. The residual problems this has left in the post-colonial world ensure that this work is still far from dated. In some ways this operetta is about globalisation! What could possibly be LESS dated than that!
The Grand Duke, on the other hand, is a bit of an odd man out - I suppose you still have to say it is the weakest of all the G&S efforts. It's the ONLY one that didn't score a very respectable run on its first outing. Surprisingly, however, if an attempt is made to duplicate the musical and (especially) dialogue cuts that G&S would have done themselves if they had not by this time been at each other's throats all the time, a very entertaining piece can be made of it. I was very agreeably surprised by the Ohio Light Opera recording, which does just that - and I am coming round to the idea that the only thing really wrong with the Duke is that it is too long.
ANYWAY:
For all people (especially callow youth) who remain convinced that G&S only wrote three operettas worth listening to - all I can say is, buy this set, and give the lesser known ones a chance. Make sure you have a libretto in your hands as you listen, of course. It may even just need a single hearing in some cases, but otherwise, be patient. In the meantime, you really cannot have any conception of what you are missing.
This is almost true. What I discovered is the strong similarity in this music to Prokoviev, especially to his score for the film 'Alexander Nevsky' (and to some of the ballet music in 'The Red Shoes') None of this should be a great surprise as all three pieces were written about the same time by Russians!
My biggest disappointment is that while this music is immencely enjoyable, it is still not as strong as that greatest of Russian 20th century composers, Stravinsky.
This is primarily for those how are especially fond of ballet music in general, and Russian ballet music in particular.
There is much to like in these extended excerpts, which comprise about thrice as much music as is usually gathered in a suite from "Spartacus", the composer's colorful ballet. Jarvi and his troupe obviously enjoyed themselves making this recording as they revel in Khachaturian's colorful score.
What keeps this from being a five star selection is the somewhat unidiomatic approach conductor and musicians take to the music. Jarvi, whose recordings specialize in unusual and oft-unheard repertoire, is perhaps too international in his approach to this music.
He and his band are neither big enough nor loud enough In "Variations of Aegina and Bacchanalia", the first excerpt from most collections of this music. They begin to catch on in "Scene and Dance with Crotalums" but still tend to rough over many of Khachaturian's hard edges.
The famous "Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia", which is the heart of this collection, is taken at a very rapid pace by Jarvi. The timing of 8:49 is 1:31 faster than a more idiomatic performance I've heard by Temirkanov. Jarvi's approach adds a passionate element to the music but also needlessly rushes it, denying its beauty and solemnity.
When Khachaturian conducted his own music there was never any room for subtlety and always room for sentiment in slower movements. Khachaturian's music is always full of pathos, which Jarvi tends to undercut in his own musical way. He dwells on musical values and orchestral execution at the expense of emotional largess.
You can hear this in just about every section of this performance including "Dance of the Egyptian Girl" from the third suite. It is wonderfully played but lacks the characterisitics that make Khachaturian's music unique.
It is as if Jarvi is trying to avoid the famous Chicago critic's charge that, "He who steals Khachaturian steals trash." In my opinion it is the trashy approach that makes Khachaturian's music so wonderful.
Still there is much to enjoy in this generous collection. Short of some languid bassoons, the playing is consistently first rate in a five by five recording that rivals the best work done today. Anyone that wants an extended collection of music from "Spartacus" or any Khachaturian ballet will not likely be disappointed with this compilation.
The evidence of pre-war Sargent recordings (for instance his earlier "Princess Ida") shows that when he was a little younger he appoached these works with vigour and a stong sense of musical humour. As he mellowed (or got older, anyway) his interpretation of G&S definitely became more personal and reverent (or, if you like, slower). Whether you like this or not is absolutely a matter of taste. There are times when those of us more used to other productions may find a mellow geniality in the music rather than the razor sharp wit we are used to. On balance it has to be said that Sullivan comes off better than Gilbert when you slow things down a bit.
My own personal opinion is that if you only want one performance of each operetta I would look elsewhere. If you love G&S enough to want several recordings of each one - then get these - if only to enjoy a "different" slant on the music.
I am not complaining about the price of Amazon, but I purchased this boxset in Hong Kong at an extremely attractive price of HK$218, ie US$28. This price is not only for this boxset, but for all EMI boxsets with the same packing, no matter how many CDs are in one box (from 6pcs to 16pcs). I can't understand how this astounding price gap comes into being. Maybe Amazon should contact EMI for a better promotional price.

Don't underestimate those "unknown" Operettas!!.......2005-07-07
In any case - most people getting this set will already have the Mikado, and very probably Pirates and Pinafore for that matter, so you're really getting it for the others.
So just for the record - someone has to say this!
The Mikado is (of course) a wonderful piece, but it enjoys its long running status as the most successful of all the G&S operettas very largely for "extra-musical" reasons. It is visually so wonderful, with all those great authentic costumes, and the whole idea of satirising English institutions by pretending they are Japanese is of course brilliantly funny.
Again, Pirates and Pinafore enjoy a lot of their acclaim simply because we have heard them so often. And at least part of the initial success of these (admittedly very funny and entertaining) pieces was the vogue for "nautical drama" on the popular Victorian stage.
Iolanthe, Ruddigore, and Yoemen are all MUCH stronger musically than any of what another reviewer here keeps calling the "trilogy". Patience, Princess Ida, and the Gondoliers all excel either "nautical" operetta, at least musically, although not, perhaps, the Mikado. And I have had a lot of fun listening to my recording of the Sorcerer - although I think most at least of the other G&S operettas are even more interesting.
As for "Trial by Jury" it is really another thing altogether - but in its kind the most perfect thing either Gilbert or Sullivan had anything to do with!
This leaves Utopia and the Grand Duke.
Both of these were produced after the long running friendship between G&S had soured, and they have been sadly neglected ever since. Utopia is none the less both musically beautiful and very funny, and well worth taking an effort to come to grips with. The main point of the satire (which many commentators and reviewers seem to miss) is the way that the English language and British (especially English) institutions were being adopted, often rather uncritically, by countries around the world (most, but not all, of them members of the British Empire, of course). India is perhaps the country Gilbert had most in mind, but you could set it in any of a dozen other countries. The residual problems this has left in the post-colonial world ensure that this work is still far from dated. In some ways this operetta is about globalisation! What could possibly be LESS dated than that!
The Grand Duke, on the other hand, is a bit of an odd man out - I suppose you still have to say it is the weakest of all the G&S efforts. It's the ONLY one that didn't score a very respectable run on its first outing. Surprisingly, however, if an attempt is made to duplicate the musical and (especially) dialogue cuts that G&S would have done themselves if they had not by this time been at each other's throats all the time, a very entertaining piece can be made of it. I was very agreeably surprised by the Ohio Light Opera recording, which does just that - and I am coming round to the idea that the only thing really wrong with the Duke is that it is too long.
ANYWAY:
For all people (especially callow youth) who remain convinced that G&S only wrote three operettas worth listening to - all I can say is, buy this set, and give the lesser known ones a chance. Make sure you have a libretto in your hands as you listen, of course. It may even just need a single hearing in some cases, but otherwise, be patient. In the meantime, you really cannot have any conception of what you are missing.

Aram Khachaturian's famous ballet, Spartacus, was first produced for the Kirov Theatre in Leningrad in 1956 and was hailed--in its 1968 version--as the most successful Soviet ballet since Prokofieff's Romeo and Juliet. High praise indeed. The story comes from the story of a Roman slave/gladiator who led a revolt against Rome but was betrayed by his followers. The ballet itself is distinguished by a wide range of distinct melodies and themes, and the three gathered here do cohere well. But the suites do not follow the ballet sequentially. These suites were written to stand on their own. Fun anyhow. --Paul CookCustomer Reviews:
Nice Music!.......2007-01-21
This is almost true. What I discovered is the strong similarity in this music to Prokoviev, especially to his score for the film 'Alexander Nevsky' (and to some of the ballet music in 'The Red Shoes') None of this should be a great surprise as all three pieces were written about the same time by Russians!
My biggest disappointment is that while this music is immencely enjoyable, it is still not as strong as that greatest of Russian 20th century composers, Stravinsky.
This is primarily for those how are especially fond of ballet music in general, and Russian ballet music in particular.
very good listening.......2006-11-07
A generous collection of excerpts exceptionally well-played.......2005-11-29
There is much to like in these extended excerpts, which comprise about thrice as much music as is usually gathered in a suite from "Spartacus", the composer's colorful ballet. Jarvi and his troupe obviously enjoyed themselves making this recording as they revel in Khachaturian's colorful score.
What keeps this from being a five star selection is the somewhat unidiomatic approach conductor and musicians take to the music. Jarvi, whose recordings specialize in unusual and oft-unheard repertoire, is perhaps too international in his approach to this music.
He and his band are neither big enough nor loud enough In "Variations of Aegina and Bacchanalia", the first excerpt from most collections of this music. They begin to catch on in "Scene and Dance with Crotalums" but still tend to rough over many of Khachaturian's hard edges.
The famous "Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia", which is the heart of this collection, is taken at a very rapid pace by Jarvi. The timing of 8:49 is 1:31 faster than a more idiomatic performance I've heard by Temirkanov. Jarvi's approach adds a passionate element to the music but also needlessly rushes it, denying its beauty and solemnity.
When Khachaturian conducted his own music there was never any room for subtlety and always room for sentiment in slower movements. Khachaturian's music is always full of pathos, which Jarvi tends to undercut in his own musical way. He dwells on musical values and orchestral execution at the expense of emotional largess.
You can hear this in just about every section of this performance including "Dance of the Egyptian Girl" from the third suite. It is wonderfully played but lacks the characterisitics that make Khachaturian's music unique.
It is as if Jarvi is trying to avoid the famous Chicago critic's charge that, "He who steals Khachaturian steals trash." In my opinion it is the trashy approach that makes Khachaturian's music so wonderful.
Still there is much to enjoy in this generous collection. Short of some languid bassoons, the playing is consistently first rate in a five by five recording that rivals the best work done today. Anyone that wants an extended collection of music from "Spartacus" or any Khachaturian ballet will not likely be disappointed with this compilation.

The advent of stereo brought forth two competing Gilbert and Sullivan cycles that retain their classic status in divergent ways. Seasoned Savoyards lean towards Decca's D'Oyly Carte recordings, where the use of singing actors and inclusion of dialogue add up to a palpable theatrical experience. By contrast, EMI's competing cycle featured some of Britain's finest operatic singers of the 1950s and '60s, who largely command both music and text on equal terms. The nine operettas in this series conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent--Trial by Jury, HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Iolanthe, The Mikado, Ruddigore, The Yeomen of the Guard, and The Gondoliers--are repackaged in a budget-priced, space-saving box. True, some might contend that Sargent's stoutly moderate tempos downplay the authors' irreverent bite, but at least you can make out every blasted word. And that's important, since EMI includes no librettos, just a synopsis of each work. As a bonus, Sullivan's orchestral forays outside comic opera fill out the discs, including incidental music to The Tempest and The Merchant of Venice, the touching Overture in C ("In Memoriam"), an attractively tuneful Symphony in E, and a fascinating reconstruction of a Cello Concerto, whose autograph and parts perished in a 1964 fire. You simply cannot find a more comprehensive Gilbert and Sullivan bargain than this highly enticing set. Grab it while you can. --Jed DistlerCustomer Reviews:
The complete Sargent G&S.......2005-07-08
The evidence of pre-war Sargent recordings (for instance his earlier "Princess Ida") shows that when he was a little younger he appoached these works with vigour and a stong sense of musical humour. As he mellowed (or got older, anyway) his interpretation of G&S definitely became more personal and reverent (or, if you like, slower). Whether you like this or not is absolutely a matter of taste. There are times when those of us more used to other productions may find a mellow geniality in the music rather than the razor sharp wit we are used to. On balance it has to be said that Sullivan comes off better than Gilbert when you slow things down a bit.
My own personal opinion is that if you only want one performance of each operetta I would look elsewhere. If you love G&S enough to want several recordings of each one - then get these - if only to enjoy a "different" slant on the music.
Nice collection...but you can get a better price........2005-01-20
I am not complaining about the price of Amazon, but I purchased this boxset in Hong Kong at an extremely attractive price of HK$218, ie US$28. This price is not only for this boxset, but for all EMI boxsets with the same packing, no matter how many CDs are in one box (from 6pcs to 16pcs). I can't understand how this astounding price gap comes into being. Maybe Amazon should contact EMI for a better promotional price.
An operatic approach to G&S.......2004-01-31
They are all played by the Pro Arte Orchestra under the baton of veteran G&S conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent (who conducted most of the RCA Victor/HMV electric recordings) and feature the soloists and chorus of the Glyndebourne Festival. The only voice familiar to devotees of the earlier recordings is that of George Baker, who had assumed most of the comic roles on many an acoustic and electric recording, although he himself had never appeared in any of those roles on a stage.
Once the days of the mono LP were over, the Decca (overseas) and London (over here) labels were busily issuing stereo versions with D'Oyly Carte casts while EMI was giving them stiff competition with their Glyndebourne people. While the D'Oyly Carte singers were not quite up to their rivals vocally, several of their recordings included the dialogue, which was a bane to some, a blessing to others. However, now that both companies have reissued their complete Gilbert & Sullivan sets in a budget format, you can judge for yourselves which is superior. But it is of the EMI set that I wish to comment here.
It comes in a box of 16 CDs, arranged in the order of composition, except for "Trial by Jury" which follows rather than precedes "Pinafore" as part of the same set. My only quarrel with the series as a whole is the lack of a good basso profundo, especially for the role of Pooh-Bah. Using opera star Geraint Evans as Ko-Ko, Jack Point, and the Duke of Plaza-Toro was not a good idea, since he does not have that lightness of voice and sparkle the roles require. But George Baker takes over in the other comic leads; and it is difficult to believe that this man had made a "Mikado" recording back in 1917 and was still going strong. Oh, of course, now and then the patter songs take their toll. But Baker is a G&S legend and I am one of the thousands who love him.
The leading tenor (in 7 of the 9 recordings) is Richard Lewis, whose voice may not be as characterful as some of the D'Oyly Carte tenors of old but is beautiful to hear. The leading soprano is Elsie Morison, who can tackle the coloratura of Josephine ("Pinafore") and Mabel ("Pirates") with no trouble. Sounding a little too mature, perhaps, for some of the other roles, her vocalizing more than makes up for it. Now remember that most of these singers have long operatic backgrounds and approach Sullivan's music in that mode.
When the EMI LPs were transferred to CDs, the extra time each disc could carry called for several "fillers" or what is now called "bonus" tracks. So as an added inducement to purchase this set, you will also hear Sullivan's symphonic alone in his overtures to three of the works not included, "Overture in C," "Symphony in E," "Overture di Ballo," incidental music to "The Tempest" and to "The Merchant of Venice," and the "Cello Concerto in D." They are taken from more recent recordings with different orchestras and conductors.
The booklet gives all the casts and tracking, along with synopses cued to the tracks. However, newcomers are advised to find a good edition of the plays so they can follow the words and perhaps pause between songs to read the equally clever dialogue as a group entertainment.
So even if you own other recordings of these immensely popular works, I am sure you will enjoy this EMI set very much indeed. And yes, some of the sets are still available separately in their individual jewel cases.
