Gilbert & Sullivan (1954)
The Savoy Players and OrchestraThere evidently were several records featuring the anonymous Savoy Players and Orchestra. They are listed below, but I have very little information about them. According to the Varsity-GramophoneConcertone Discography, Gramophone 2061 consists of the following
According to correspondent Tony Dwyer, Halo 5061 contains the following excerpts from The Mikado: Overture Tony added that "patriotic" has a long 'a' in "A wandering minstrel." In "The flowers that bloom in the spring," Nanki-Poo inserts a cadenza, and Ko-Ko imitates it. He added:
From Tony's report, this seems to be a fairly substantial recording of The Mikado, but I have elected to leave it listed here, with the other pressings that appear to come from the same series. It is not clear whether the item I have listed as the Halo Pinafore is also part of the series. Another correspondent has alerted me to a further Halo issue, #50308, that seems to be a companion to the Halo Pinafore and has different contents to those Tony has described. A pretty mess indeed!
