5 out of 5 stars Great CD's.......2005-09-20

I love the versions of "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General" and "When I Was A Lad". The lyrics were fairly easy to understand and the vocals were fun and spunky, just as Gilbert & Sullivan should be:). I have no complaints (even the price was right); all in all two great CDs.

5 out of 5 stars A much maligned joy!.......2001-01-20

This recording dating from 1971 is now realised on CD with superb sound quality. The cast was probably the last great line up of the late years of the former D'Oyly Carte Company.

John Reed does appear tired and stale, this is due to the closeness of the recording making for a 'radio broadcast' effect. Thomas Lawler as Capt Corcoran (at the time husband of Pauline Wales, Cousin Hebe) is excellent. I remember seeing this cast in performance, minus Valerie Masterson, who was brought in as guest artiste for the recording. They were superb then, with particular mention of the brilliant Christene Palmer (a fantastic Katisha in The Mikado), Arthur Jackson who had a great presence on stage and was a superb Pooh-Bah, his round tones suit admirably the role of Carpenters-Mate.

Ralph Mason, as Ralph Rackstraw (pronounced as Rafe, a Victorian English idiosyncracy) made a superb attempt at all the parts he played in repertory, of particular note being Earl Tolloller in Iolanthe.

This recording is worth the purchase to recall or find for the first time the last glimpses of this much lamented troupe. Except for the weak John Ayldon, Dick Deadeye, who does not have the satanic glitter of the late Donald Adams or Darrell Fancourt, the rest are superb. A pity the newer, yet fresher company does not have the subtlety of tradition or performance quality. Ah well, lack-a-day! we can't have everything...Can we?

4 out of 5 stars A Pinafore performance that deserves more acceptance.......2000-11-25

Ever since D'Oyly Carte made this wonderful recording of Pinafore in 1971, it has been given somewhat unfair critiques, including one that called it "infamous." That criticism came about because of the distorted sound on the original LP issue, but things seem to have improved with this CD reissue, allowing the performance to be heard more clearly. Nevertheless, the artistic distinction of the performance still manages to shine through brightly, and this alone can contribute to the winning appeal of its admirers.

Even despite the fact that John Reed gives a memorable performance of the Ruler of the Queen's Navee, his portrayal seems to have deteriorated a little bit. This is due to the obvious staleness of his voice (well, it was a feature of all the D'Oyly Carte recordings that were made from the 1968 Pirates onwards, so you mustn't blame him!) and his deteriorating diction. Some of the words were not pronounced clearly, as in his character's famous comical autobiographical song, and there is evidence of sloppiness of hte notes in places. The other major drawback is John Ayldon's Deadeye. Like all D'Oyly Carte recordings to which he contributed, this one was ruined by the unpleasant gruffness of his voice. His portrayal seems not to match Donald Adams on every level. However, for the rest of the cast, there is much to please the ear. Thomas Lawlor makes as first-class a Captain as Jeffrey Stitch, Gordon Sandison or Thomas Allen, but even though he has a slightly heavy and dark-timbred voice, he nevertheless manages to remove it from this recording. He is certainly better suited to this role than to Deadeye, the role he played on the New Sadler's Wells recording. Ralph Mason makes a heady-toned Rackstraw, and he certainly is a joy to hear on record, determined to win the hand of Josephine, who is memorably characterised by the best G&S prima donna, Valerie Masterson. She sings with a full-blooded mature soprano voice with which she gives a melancholy air to her opening ballad and blood to her grand operatic scene. She is certainly better than Jean Hindmarsh, if only by a small margin, even though the twitter in the latter's voice does not hurt at all. And lastly, I would like to highlight the underrated Christene Palmer's fruity portrayal of Little Buttercup, which is on par with Gillian Knight and Felicity Palmer. The rest of the cast is splendid, the choral singing as well-disciplined as the orchestra, and James Walker paces the tempi nicely, with some small quibbles that don't matter a lot. The recording has transferred well to CD, and the sound effects kept to a minimum, to help give a sense of atmosphere. The dry recording is also characteristic of all D'Oyly Carte recordings made from their 1968 Pirates onwards. The major complaint is the Spectacular fill-ups which don't seem to fit in with Pinafore, as they are too improperly chosen and the tempi too slow. If the CD ends with The flowers that bloom in the spring, it does not give a definite sense of an ending.

Overall, I would safely say that while this is not necessarily a first-choice, its artistic merits shine through compellingly to make it be one. Let me advise you to ignore the Spectacular items by programming them out. Anyone who wants a standard D'Oyly Carte performance will be well pleased with this.

4 out of 5 stars A good Pinafore, bird, boards and brine included.......1998-09-30

This CD release of an early 70s recording has been given something of a reprieve from the original branding of it as "the most infamous Pinafore". The added sound effects of seagull, creaking timbers and the sea sloshing against the ship's sides seems mostly to have been forgiven. These aural props are only present between songs and when present provide a pleasant theatrical quality to the recording. D'Oyly Carte is in good form here and the close microphone Phase 4 recording makes audibility excellent - something Gilbert would have appreciated if the Savoy had offered anything as good.

5 out of 5 stars A fun, lighthearted, well-done musical comedy........1998-09-24

This recording of Pinafore is well done. The listener can really get a sense of the enjoyment the singers experience in this show. It brought back pleasant memories of my own cast experience.

Album Description

Arrr, mateys! The brave lads of the Toucan Pirates return from their third voyage to Ireland, Scotland, England & the Shetland Isles with another boatload of musical gems.

Each salty tune has been recovered from the holds of many a sunken treasure galleon, or discovered on faraway West Indian islands using dusty old treasure maps.

The sequel to Sea Changes of the Toucan Pirates, this rollicking album contains authentically piratical instrumentals played on Concertina, Tin Whistle, Irish Bouzouki, Tenor Banjo and Button Accordion.

The Toucan Pirates add in a treasure chest of pirate sound effects to heighten the adventure. There's even a West Indian steel drum, for that "Pirates of the Caribbean" flavor! Kids love it!

5 out of 5 stars M-ARRRRRRR-velous!.......2007-05-17

The Toucan Pirates are a great little pirate band, and BURIED TREASURE is one of their best. If you are planning a pirate party for your young ones (and who wouldn't want to dress her or his kids up with buckles, sashes, and eyepatches?), or even yourself (and who doesn't want to dress up in buckles...) then this could be your soundtrack. A mix of traditional Irish jigs and reels, as well as a few slower tunes, the music is punctuated with some delightful pirate sounds, and ends with a nice rendition of "Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest," probably the most piratey of all the songs.

5 out of 5 stars Buy this CD or walk the plank!.......2007-01-03

This "Buried Treasure" belongs in your booty! Top-notch all the way!

4 out of 5 stars Great for kids or museums. Not for a pirate party for grownups........2006-06-28

The musicianship on this CD is quite nice, as is the selection of songs. The Toucan Pirates have certainly done their homework in terms of researching the traditional music of the British Isles and playing it on period instruments, along with some good background sound effects, movie samples, and a hint of Caribbean steel drums. If you're looking for pirate music for an exhibit on pirates or are having a pirate party for kids, this is the perfect CD for you. It's reasonably lively and the pacing changes enough to keep it interesting as background music.

If, however, you are an adult who is going to have a pirate party for adults (poker, drinking, etc.) then this CD may be a bit plodding and tame for you. For that purpose, I would instead recommend bands like The Pogues (particularly about half the tracks on "If I should Fall From Grace with God") and select cuts from Flogging Molly, Tears for Beers, The Chieftains, and The Dubliners.

This is actually a very good CD, just not for the wild Pirate Party I'm planning on thowing! My favorite cut is the Garryowen, which still makes my hair stand on end because of my associations of it with poignant scenes from the movie, "Little Big Man," where it's played by General Custer's band as they march into battle.

5 out of 5 stars A mix of baroque and East Coast music.......2001-07-18

"Bach Meets Cape Breton" is an enjoyable mix of baroque and east coast Canadian music, and it works quite wonderfully. Puirt a Baroque's combination of violin/harpsichord/guitar mixes beautifully, and they combine the two styles of music with skill and inspiration.

Read a good long book with this playing in the background, and let it repeat. This is not to call this background music, it is great to hear it on its own and listen for all the nuances and purity. Excellent CD, one I found by accident but enjoy very much.

5 out of 5 stars A unique mix of classical themes with Celtic tempos.......2000-07-19

We received this CD as a gift from a Canadian friend who shares our love of classical music and were pleasantly surprised by the unique character, of these artists who mix classical themes with Celtic form in an utterly charming, and at times even toe-tapping musical presentation. David Greenberg's violin playing is first rate as is that of the other musicians. Bach is clearly there, but heard through a special kind of filter. For those who may run from anything too Celtic, relax, this manages to merge the best of that lighter folk music with the discipline of baroque. A delightful, often played favorite around our home!

    Album Description

    In September of 1999 Flatpicking Guitar Magazine began producing an instructional audio CD to accompany each issue. In preparation for the first audio CD we recorded Kenny Smith and Curtis Jones playing a duet on the tune "Angeline the Baker" for the September/October 1999 issue. After listening to Kenny and Curtis play this tune together I realized the incredible beauty and power the sound of two acoustic guitars played in duo contained and the idea for New Standards was born.

    In preparation for this project I contacted fifteen of today's most talented acoustic guitar players and asked each to compose an original tune for this CD. I asked that the tune take advantage of the special characteristics of the guitar. I wanted guitar tunes, not fiddle tunes or banjo tunes played on the guitar. I also asked that the tune be something that would be appropriate for a guitar duo. I paired the players together taking into consideration their unique playing styles and the logistical challenges of getting each pair in the studio together. All songs were recorded live with the exception of "Brittlebush."

    The word "standard" can mean "something established and generally accepted" and it can also, among other things, mean "serving as a gauge or criterion." It is my hope that flatpickers will be inspired to learn these tunes and begin playing them at picking parties and jam sessions along with some of the old standards which reside in the flatpicking repertoire, so these tunes will indeed become new standards. I also think that the level of mastery demonstrated in the playing here will serve to "raise the bar" and thus effectively set new standards of excellence for all flatpickers to strive to attain. Thus we give you New Standards for Flatpicking Guitar. Enjoy!

    2 out of 5 stars The best? I think not........2004-01-11

    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.

    1 out of 5 stars can't understand the words.......2004-01-08

    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.

    In the tradition of Heigh-Ho! Mozart, the Trinidad and Tobago Showboat Orchestra perform Beauty and the Beat!, 14 Disney songs in steel-band style. What may seem a novelty is in actuality an innovative and intriguing way to hear such classics as Snow White's "Someday My Prince Will Come" and Mary Poppins's "A Spoonful of Sugar," as well as relative newcomers "Be Our Guest" and "Hakuna Matata" from Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, respectively. And the sunny syncopated tones of the steel band are perfect for the Calypso-flavored "Kiss the Girl" (reminiscent of "Sloop John B" and "Jamaican Farewell") and the vastly improved "Under the Sea," both from The Little Mermaid. In fact, parents who've grown weary of Ariel and Simba on repeat play will find the Trinidad and Tobago Showboat Orchestra's renditions thankfully exotic and festive. --Paige La Grone

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent album of Disney musical tracks!.......2006-10-11

    I thought this album must be a very ordinary album when I first saw its cover. I thought it must be like other Disney song collection, confused and ordinary. However, I was still very curious that how this album could be and I listened to all the tracks with Amazon Listening Sample. Then, I felt it was a wonderful album had glorious musical tracks in it. It makes me recognize Jim Brickman's album "Disney Song Book".
    I viewed the track list on the back of the CD box when I began to listen to this album. All the tracks were so familiar to me. The original version of "A Spoonful Of Sugar" from "Mary Poppins" is good, though I don't love it so much. Then, this musical track gives me different feeling. It feels as lively as the original version in the movie but gives me purer feeling to my ears. "Someday My Prince Will Come" is a romantic love song, and in this musical track, it feels still so good. The initial romantic feeling hasn't lost at all! There are 3 tracks of songs from "The Little Mermaid" which I love best. I think "Under the Sea" is the best in these 3. The sound of the instruments that played the melody is wonderful, it feels still vivid but not noisy. "Part of Your World" is my favorite song in the movie, but this musical track of it is not as good as the one of "Under the Sea". And 3 classic songs from "The Lion King" are in this album. My favorite musical tracks in these 3 is "I Just Can't Wait to Be King". It feels pretty good. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" is wonderful too, it gives us romantic and tender feeling just like "Someday My Prince Will Come" does. At first, I mede a mistake that I thought this is a album of "Beauty and the Beast" because I see the word "Beat" on the cover as "Beast"! However, there are tracks of "Beauty and the Beast" in this album indeed, and they're really glorious. 2 of them were from the Broadway Musical, "No Matter What" and "Home". Their original versions are good and so are their musical ones. Tracks of "Beauty and the Beast" are my favorites in this album.
    Generally speaking, the only shortcoming of this album is that all the tracks have the same style, I feel hard to tell the particular of each track though their melodies are different and they're so classic. However, this is a wonderful album, the tracks are tender and beautiful even there are no words to sing. This is my recently must-listen before my bedtime, the tracks often make me calm and I can have a nice dream. I think this album is fit for children very much, and also fit for many Disney fans who love light music.

    5 out of 5 stars Almost as Good as Being at Disney World.......2005-09-17

    One of my favorite resorts at Disney World is the Caribbean Beach. I can't say for certain that this is the ambient music of the resort, but it sure comes close.

    It's just the thing if it's too long until your next trip to Orlando, or if your having a tropical themed party at home.

    4 out of 5 stars We love this CD.......2005-01-02

    If you love Disney Music, and are looking for a good way to countdown your time for your Disney Cruise, this is the perfect CD. My son and I like to listen to this on the weekends and plan our Disney Cruise!

    2 out of 5 stars No Harry Belafonte.......2004-06-09

    My 4 month old daughter loves her grandparents Harry Belafonte cd. I saw this and thought that it would be fun Disney music similar in style to Harry Belafonte. I was very disappointed. To me, it was not danceable and the couple songs I heard lacked vocals. I would not recommend it if Harry Belafonte is what you are looking for. Unfortunately, I do not have audio on my computer, so I could not listen to it ahead of time.

    5 out of 5 stars I love, love, love this CD!!!.......2001-10-24

    I would be lost without it. Even if you hate Disney, I can't recommend it enough. I can put it on while working and it just brightens up my day!! No vocals, all instrumental, wonderful for anyone who wants to relaz or liven up.

    4 out of 5 stars Good bargain........2004-08-25

    The performances are good--this is the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, after all--and you get 2 full CDs, with 2 selections from "Trial by Jury", 5 from "HMS Pinafore", 9 from "The Pirates of Penzance", 9 from "Iolanthe", 12 from "The Mikado", 6 from "The Yeomen of the Guard", and 13 from "The Gondoliers". The booklet is a bit skimpy, and only lists recording dates for the first CD (1929-1949). But the sound is good, and the music is great, and at this price it's a great "greatest hits" collection.

    4 out of 5 stars Essential history.......2007-06-24

    Hooray for Pavilion Records and all other organizations collecting early recordings and transferring them to CD for the world to enjoy! Of course since they are EARLY recordings (1917-1927) it has that fizzy wax sound to it and the lyrics get mushy at times. That either makes it endearing or annoying, depending on your perspective. It's lovely to finally hear the Brox Sisters sing again, let John Steel's tenor soar, and to hear what You'd Be Surprised sounded like sung by a girl. The earliest songs of Irving Berlin may not be his best, but are a refreshing glimpse into his 30s. Half of the songs on this disc debuted in Berlin's own Music Box Revue at the theater he built after WWI.
