Dr. Platypus posted:Gilbert and Sullivan. I already have recordings of H.M.S Pinafore and Pirates of Penzance, but I'm looking to branch out a bit more. Start by rounding out the typical G & S pantheon with The Mikado. It is one of the tightist operettas, lyrically and musically, and well worth a listen. Trial By Jury (a personal favorite) and The Yeomen of the Guard are sure bets if you've liked everything thus far, they are typically released together so shouldn't be too hard to find. If you have a bit of money to spend, I would highly recommend this set. It has all the five operettas mentioned and is an excellent recording. Granted, it's not D'Oyle Carte, but good nonetheless. If you find yourself still wanting more, you can't beat Decca. Finally, this book not only provides the complete librettos, but also includes a good deal of the history surrounding the productions.
