{"product_id":"gilbert-sullivan-the-mikado","title":"Gilbert \u0026 Sullivan: The Mikado","description":"Amazon.com\n\nRegarded by G \u0026amp; S fans as the best of the all the operettas, The Mikado is given a sizzling performance by Sir Charles Mackerras, who--by leaving off the overture (which isn't by Sullivan anyway)-- manages to squeeze the piece onto one CD. He also shortens the \"list\" song since Gilbert's original features a prominent use of the \"N\" word, which, not withstanding the fact that he's making fun of people who performed in black-face in the 19th century, isn't worth the trouble it would cause by leaving it in. The singers are real singers; that is, they treat the music with respect and make it sound great. Of course, it is. --David Hurwitz\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000003CXW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000003CXW.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gilbert \u0026amp; Sullivan|Sir Charles Mackerras|Arthur Sullivan|Anthony Rolfe Johnson|Marie McLaughlin|Orchestra \u0026amp; Chorus Welsh National Opera|Welsh National Opera\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
