@@alexandrumanta1439 It isnt that Malcolm Sargent is too slow, but that Isidore Godfrey is delightfully brisk, and he brought a delightful zest into the G&S as we know it (for the better) . But Sargent did his research well, examining the original manuscripts. His Mikado and Princess Ida, and Yeomen are still standard canon. Isidore did marvels for the repertory , no doubt.
This set is musically still the best. Great singing and conducting with excellent tempos.
Very helpful for learning the parts...thank you!
Love this one!
Thank you for posting these!
6:24 Phyllis : For riches and rank I do not long
Finale too slow !

Elsie Morison not Elise
All too slow!
This conductor was famous for his slow tempi. It takes the fun out of everything, this is G&S not Wagner.
