Probably my favourite patter song to sing, with nice changes of pace and flashy fast bits... From the 2008 Gosforth Musical Society production of 'The Sorcerer'. Filmed and edited by Nikolas Lloyd (Lindybeige)
Great performance-- the soloist is really excellent. This is probably the most difficult patter songs to sing up to speed and this guy nailed it. Probably one of my favorite amateur performances of the song.
Great Opera this! And, very topical too. A bod who lives in the City of London, dealing out potions and conspires with an Officer of the Guards regiment and the local vicar to get an entire village stoned - with hilarious results!!! And this was written back in the 1870's. Makes you wonder doesn't it? But just where would we be without the genius of Gilbert & Sullivan? Life wouldn't be such a boon without their songs and tunes to cheer us.
Comic genius.........think Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar Zero Mostel Oliver. Puccini not Scarlatti .....DaPonte not Bach.
