harristos-thanks for the reply. I wasn't comparing, per se. It's just I've heard a lot of Gilbert and Sullivan, and all performers can learn from one another.
Donald Adams was a barrel of a man, with ability to resonate accordingly. "Work with the tools you have," is a good rule.
Before Donald Adams in D'Oyly Carte, was Daryll Fancourt. And we suffer from comparing old records with the more modern, so perhaps all comparisons are unfair.
Yes of course but Donald Adams must have been at least in his 40's by the time he recorded Iolanthe and had played in onstage for at least a decade. So its not really fair to compare with a 20 something student.
This guy is very good. But the 100 on the scale of 100 rendition of this song was done by the late Donald Adams (no -- not Maxwell Smart). Even on audio recording, you could hear the acting. As in the phrase "...they do not understand."
Lord Tolloller's reactions are a gem!

I write as someone who has performed and listened to many G & S operattas (including many by D'Orly Carte).
This has to be one of the very best I have heard - excellent

Disparage the young guy's work? Not guilty.
