G&S Compilations from the Sargent/Glyndebourne Sets
(CD Era)


The Best of Gilbert and Sullivan (3)

EMI CDZ 7 62531 2
EMI CDZ 7 62531 2

The Pro Arte Orchestra
Glyndebourne Festival Chorus and Soloists conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent

EMI/Angel 4LZ 62535 1, 1 cassette, 1988.
EMI CDZ 7 62531 2, 1 CD, 1988.

This compilation contains highlights from Mikado, Gondoliers, Pirates, Pinafore, and Iolanthe. Confusingly, the name "Best of Gilbert and Sullivan" has been used several times, even though the selections aren't always the same. I am not even positive the cassette and CD have the same contents, but given the similarity of the catalog numbers, it is probable that they do.

Mel Moratti provided the contents of the CD:

The Mikado
If you want to know who we are...
A wandring Minstrel
The Sun whose rays
Heres a how de do
The Flowers that bloom in the spring
Tit Willow
There is beauty in the bellow
For he's gone and married Yum Yum
The Gondoliers
Buon giorno Signorine...
Were called Gondolieri
take a pair of Sparkling Eyes
Dance a Cachucha
I am a Courtier
Iolanthe
Loudly let the trumpet bray
Love unrequited...
When youre lying awake
Soon as we may
Pirates
Oh, better far
Oh, is there not one maiden...
Poor wandring one
When the foeman bares his steel
H.M.S. Pinafore
We sail the Ocean Blue...
I'm called little buttercup
My gallant crew good morning
Never mind the why and wherefore
