Topsy-Turvy - The Music of Gilbert & Sullivan: From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack ReviewAnything about Gilbert & Sullivan is okay with me, but I never thought I would live to see another major motion picture about them after the one with Maurice Evans and Robert Morley. And not only about them but on the much more specialized subject of how The Mikado came to be written! A New York Times article calls this new film, , "grandly entertaining" and I can transfer that description to the inevitable soundtrack CD that Sony has just issued for reviewers on SK 61834.Although excellently sung and superbly recorded, it is something of a mixed bag. It contains in no particular order, chronological or otherwise, 8 tracks of Mikado music, 2 from Princess Ida (which preceded The Mikado), 2 from The Sorcerer (which was touched up and revived while The Mikado was being written), the Overture to The Yeomen of the Guard (which came two works after The Mikado and is not even heard in the film--it was added because the producer of the CD likes it), The Lost Chord (which along with Onward, Christian Soldiers is all that Sullivan is famous for outside of the Savoy series), and some music composed for the film.For the same price as this CD, you can get the entire score of The Mikado on Telarc label and the two overtures on Naxos along with all the other Savoy overtures. But as a momento of the film and as an introduction to G&S, this CD will do very nicely indeed.Topsy-Turvy - The Music of Gilbert & Sullivan: From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Overview
