DECCA 480 1285

In 2011 Decca Eloquence will commence on a series of G&S operetta highlights discs. By way of an 'overture', here's a 2CD set of Overtures from the D'Oyly Carte recordings made over several years by Decca, together with some of Sullivan's 'concert overtures' Macbeth, Marmion and Di Ballo. A perfect introduction to the set pieces and patter songs in orchestral guise.
