I love this performance. Part of the fun is the feigned breathlessness. It adds to their characterization.

Gilbert and Sullivan sometimes liked to challenge their singers and this is definitely one of their trickier songs. Kudos to this trio for their rendition.

@RossiniSoprano Yes - of course - Must have had a senior moment! Thank you and all the best!

Im sorry,but i enjoy the pirates of penzance version more. Kevin Kline is god

Yes, Gilbert and Sullivan "double dipped" (Thespis to Pirates for one) but the only reason you think this belongs in Pirates is because of that somewhat ghastly production done by Linda Ronstadt where, for some unimaginable reason, they included it.

Enjoyed this immensely. But goodness me, some of the comments! Ah well, as I can't sing, I can rein in my critic's urge and keep my enjoyment intact!

Way, way too fast! Pity - because the cast is good. However, the lyrics get totally swallowed up before the audience can appreciate them.

The first two actors struggled with the pasing of the song. Sometimes they lagged behind the orchestra, and other times they were rushing. I've heard better performances of the song. Much better than I can do, so I can't really complain though.

I agree with stoatsiana in general, though this particular trio does not, in my opinion, suffer, from being performed a bit on the frenetic side. It is from "Ruddigore" by the way - not Pirates (the famous trio from that show is the wonderful line: A Most Ingenious Paradox - borrowed later for a wonderful book about G & S). The characters are Sir Rupert (otherwise known as Robin Oakapple), Sir Despard (with the hat), and Mad Margaret.

@oboewizard I just noticed this comment. It's not Sir Rupert who is Robin Oakapple, but Sir Ruthven. Sir Rupert was the First Baronet of Ruddigore, and it's he who incurred the 'witch's curse' of the subtitle of the opera.

what group is this?
FinalFreek 1 year ago
@FinalFreek This is the Festival Production from the International G&S Festival in England. The principals send in audition tapes, are chosen by the directing staff, and then come together for 7 days at the Festival to put the show together. The chorus auditions on the first day of the rehearsal period.
So it's not a group, per se.

Well, Gilbert himself gives us a *bit* of a clue in the song itself when he says "this particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter!"
