Have enjoyed all the G & S you have uploaded......so many memories of Dad's 12" 78's on old RCA Hi Fi - following along with libretto that came with the records....bet I haven't heard this music for almost 50 yrs. but still able to sing(and I use the term loosely! ;-) along and remember most of the lyrics. Thanx so much....a real treat!

any chance you would be uploading more of Penzance??

This is the best recorded version of Pinafore that I know of.

Could you upload the Sorcerer....I love the overture to it.

My granddad found me an old record player as well as various Gilbert and Sullivan records such as Pirates of Penzance, The Mikado, and of course HMS Pinafore.....you have no idea how happy he made me.

@1deyoung Before this gets out of hand, I would like to kindly remind you that there is decent hip-hop and techno out there that is not how you described it. True, the good stuff is covered up by crap, but when music historians look back, they're going to find the good stuff, and that is the stuff that is going to be remembered. In addition, the means of making music are more available today then back then, and thus more people are able to make it. Granted, most have no clue what they're doing.

@FrymanFromYuggoth perhaps about some of the better rock and jazz of the 20th century. But you have to realize that hip hop- the whole basis of which is terribly abused English spoken over a repetitive backing track that has either been programmed on a computer or is a mishmash of music clips set to a thumping beat- is in some ways the modern equivalent of the "tin pan alley" mass produced ragtime ripoffs of the '20's. Music that is today viewed as merely a humorous novelty.

[FrymanFromYuggoth]

@otkare Truth. Different music for different ages. Give it another century, and you'll have people saying the same things about hip-hop and techno what they say nowadays about classic opera.

I snear at everyone trying to prove something by saying "damn kids these days with their hippety hop music"
