Album Description

"Get Out Of My Yard" is the first all-instrumental CD by guitarist Paul Gilbert, regarded internationally as one of the greatest players in the industry. Gilbert's sales draw from nearly 20 albums and 20 years as a recording artist and touring musician. There has been a resurgent interest in musician oriented records, the Shrapnel back catalog and Racer X/Paul Gilbert. The release of this record is perfectly timed with a legion of young players who are just now discovering the origins of high performance shred guitar of which Paul Gilbert is one of the true innovators.

4 out of 5 stars Good to see an Instrumental CD from Mr. Gilbert.......2007-06-27

This CD doesn't seem to be as slickly produced as I would have expected, but the tracks are really good. Some may think instrumental guitar records can lean a little bit into self indulgence, but heck when you are as good as the "G3" guys...

4 out of 5 stars One of Paul's Best!.......2007-06-12

Ok... first of all the only reason this disc didn't get 5 stars is that I simply am not into instrumental albums. With that said, this is one of the best instrumental albums I have listened too! Burning Organ is probably my favorite Paul Gilbert album, but this is a close second. I rankthis up there with Steve Vai's "Passion and Warfare" in the instrumental cd category.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2007-05-15

I got this cd the other day and it has now become my favorite. Paul doesn't skimp on this and you can tell he really put a lot of hard work into it. His skill is spot on and the feeling he has when he plays is amazing. If you are into Yngwie, Steve Vai, or any other shred/guitar type music you should check this out.

5 out of 5 stars Excellant Album.......2007-05-13

I saw Paul Gilbert in Myrtle Beach at the House of Blues on March 31 with the G3 Tour. I came home the night after the show and had to buy this album. I had heard his Racer X and Mr. Big stuff but never none of his solo stuff. I knew with him touring with Joe Satriani he had to be a great guitarist. The intro for Get out of my yard is wicked. This a must album for those that love hard rock and not that bubble gum rock.

5 out of 5 stars G3 Fan.......2007-04-22

I'll admit, I went to the G3 sho to hear John Petrucci and Joe Satriani. I haven't heard Paul since his Mr. Big Days, I didn't know what to expect, I just didn't want to be disapointed. Well, he didn't disapoint! He was great and his music is well structured. I liked it so much I purchased his latest CD "Get out of my Yard". This by far is one of the best CDs I've purchased to date. And I've purchased hundreds if them.
If you want to hear some great guitar playing and some great music buy this CD. This is one muscian that shouldn't be over looked, He has great chops, and a great sense of humor. You'll enjoy it.

Amazon.com

This set of Anna Russell's inspired satirical monologues should be labeled with a warning notice. Why? Because after listening to her whirlwind explication of Wagner's Ring Cycle, even the most confirmed Wagnerite will be unable to listen to the Ring for weeks to come. Just listening to Russell declare in an incredulous voice: "I'm not making this up, y'know" is enough to induce you to shed bucketloads of laughter-induced tears. Gilbert and Sullivan fans will find their heroes savaged in her concoction of a typical G&S product, complete with a soprano lead who "loves below her station." Other targets include "the nymphs and shepherds" style of quavery English singing, complete with "hey-nonny-nonny's," coloratura mad scenes, and much else, including Russian folk songs, like her "Da, nyet, da, nyet." This disc is packed with laughs, chuckles, smiles, and everything. --Dan Davis

3 out of 5 stars Intelligent and musical fun.-.......2007-01-13

Due to the recent passing away of the legenday Anna Russell I bought this record and certainly did not regret it.- Inspite of having been originally recorded in 1952 and 1953 the sound is very good.- Ms. Russell combines a great sense of humour with profound musical knowledge, a wonderful timing of her jokes, and the talent of a gifted and very musical singer.- She captures the essence of the German lied, the French mélodie, the efforts of a dramatic soprano to make herself heard over the huge Wagnerian orchestra, culminating in her famous, already classic, 22 minutes long analysis of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs.- I listened to this recording three times in a row and had great fun.- Only Victor Borge can be compared to her with respect to this rare combination of deep musicianship with a real gift for comedy.- If you don't know yet these numbers, don't hesitate - buy the record, you will not be sorry.-

5 out of 5 stars The Genius of Anna Russell.......2006-03-15

If you love music, but are happy to see the funny side of even the great composers, then this album is for you. Anna Russell is a singer of note but a comedian of greatness. She finds the pivotal styles of composers and caricatures them to great effect. The explanations she gives of the basics of Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas and the way she dissects Wagners Ring Cycle bring tears to the eyes with laughter. I recommend this album to all music lovers with a twinkle in their eyes. Truly a great comic experience.

5 out of 5 stars If you enjoy laughing.........2006-02-23

I love opera, but I also enjoy spoofs of opera. Anna Russell was a classic "spoofer" of operatic stories and conventions. Nobody does it better. My favorite on this album is her take-off on Wagner's "Ring."

This CD can probably also be enjoyed by those who have only a nodding acquaintance with opera, but may not be enjoyed by those who take opera with 100% seriousness.

5 out of 5 stars Anna Russell strikes again!.......2005-10-14

I have heard all of these Anna Russell selections at one time or another, but having them all together in one place, and on a CD, is a real plus. She is absolutely riotously funny. I teach a course in "Introduction to opera" and use her segments on Gilbert and Sullivan and on the Ring Cycle in class, just to lighten things up a bit for the students.

5 out of 5 stars Anna Russell is a SCREAM!.......2005-08-05

I've had the vinyl of this album for over 20 years; the CD purchase was to update my system. For anyone who loves classical vocal music, and in particular the Wagner Ring Cycle and Gilbert and Sullivan, this album is a MUST. You will split your sides laughing; Ms. Russell is so very accurate in her comedy. Also, truth to tell, her Ring synopsis gave me, a newcomer to Wagner (years ago) a solid understanding of the musical plot and story line.

This album is great not only musically, but the lyrics are powerful, too. Good, solid, uplifting Christian music.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD.......2007-03-09

There are many people who don't like this CD because there is only two songs that Kutless actually wrote. That's true, but I have to say that Strong Tower is my favorite worship CD. Kutless adds a bit of edge to it. I love their rendition of each of the songs on this CD. Kutless has a way of making you feel the music, rather than just hear it. I prefer to feel than hear.

Strong Tower is also one of my favorite songs. They've done a wonderful job with that song. Once again they have taken something that I feel very often and made it into song. They are just a phenomenal band, and if you haven't already, I'd suggest checking them out.

3 out of 5 stars Great Songs Poor Singing and Style........2007-02-24

I listened the Cd the sound is weak and milky. Jon Mich Smith needs singing education he is tone deaf. He sings some these songs he messed up he needs to listen to The Rock King Elvis . He needs to decrease the bass and electrical guitar and drums . He needs to improve his voice for a smooth Elvis Voice needs to have more better sounding instraments . Worship is not about rock it's about worship the lord beafuly he need's to improve . Don't buy the Hearts of the Innocent. He needs to dress nicer than that. He follows my opinion he will be on a higher list.

5 out of 5 stars Praise that rocks!.......2007-01-10

Every song on this CD is awesome! I have it on my IPOD & rock to it @ the gym...& to think it's praise! I get pumped up & blessed @ the same time w/ this amazing album! My hubby & I think Kutless has really out done themselves w/ thier last 2 albums! Kutless is another band that gets better w/ every album!

This cd is amazing it is by far the best kutless album yet. Its alot harder (not heavier theres a big difference) and it also has 5 slow but still awesome songs. Here is a runthrough of all 12 songs

1.Hearts of the innocent-title track,pretty hard,talks abouit how adults are hurting there children by there actions,not one of my favorites but really good nonetheless. 8/10

2.Shut me out-One of the harder songs on the album. Talks about sharing your faith with others even though they may "shut you out" One of my faves. 10/10

3.Beyond the surface-More heavy,really good,talks about finding an alternate solution to suicide. 10/10

4.Smile-slow song,but in my opinion kutlesses best song since sea of faces. my favorite song on the album. talks about showing hope to others. 20/10

5.Promise of a lifetime-another slow one , really good, talks about how eternal life is the promise of a lifetime. 9/10

6.Winds of change-pretty hard,awesome song,talks about how faith in god brings about "winds of change" in us. 10/10

7.Somewhere in the sky. hard song that talks about freedom in christ. my second favorite on the cd. 15/10

8.mistakes- This song is another slow one. its ok,my least favorite. 7/10

9.Push me away-good beat,talks about not bieng ashamed to need a friend 9/10

10.Changing world-awesome slow song about how God changes your world. 10/10

11.Million Dollar man-heaviest song on the album, really good, makes you think alot,talks about a man who threw away God for money and riches, but now he wants what he had because"the grass isnt greener on this lonely side" 12/10

12.Legacy-Talks about changing you your legacy in Christ. pretty hard song. 9/10

All I can say is that if you like christain rock and kutless then get this now dont wait another minute!!!

4 out of 5 stars Better Than The First CD.......2007-03-25

I Like These Songs the First song i like that is fast beat for the first time is Somewhere in the Sky is only 3 seconds of Shouting in the Live From Portland is about 7 seconds . I like the album better. Second song Beyond The Survice . My Final Third Song Hearts of the INNOCENT. This is better than Hawk Nelson,K-j57 and Building 429. I like KUTLESS,NEWSBOYS,DAVID CROWDER BAND,TREE63,CHRIS TOMLIN,THIRD DAY and MICHEAL W.SMITH. Do Choose these artists what I like Buy this album and Strong Tower and Sea of Faces and Kutless and Live From Portland.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT!.......2007-03-09

I love Kutless! They are my favorite band ever! I've been to two of their concerts, and they're great guys. Both as musicians and people. I think this is my favorite of their CDs. Kutless is one of those bands that young teenagers and people in their 30s can listen to and enjoy together.

I've always felt strongly about what Hearts of the Innocent stands for. And a lot of their music, in all of their CDs are about stuff that I've thought about or I've experienced. I love that they care, and I love their music. I wear my Kutless T-shirt proudly and suggest them to anyone who's looking for great rock music.

5 out of 5 stars A great combination.......2007-02-27

Kutless has done a great job of giving something for everybody. If you like the first CD there are several songs that you will like. If you like the softer feel of Sea of Faces there are a good group for you to fall in love with. Most of all though this is a great compromise. Those who don't like this CD just don't have an appreciation for music. If your tastes are confined to a certain genre you would only enjoy about 1/3 of the CD. I don't know why people complain about their lyrics, especially that the lyrics are too ambiguous. All good lyricists write songs that allow individuals to interpret and apply them to their own lives. all in all, If you like any of Kutless' stuff go buy it.

5 out of 5 stars This band delivers!!!.......2007-01-25

Well, I read the other reviews, I've listened to the album, and I've seen them live. I give Kutless high marks for the quality of their sound, the diversity of their music, and a dynamic stage presence.

The Hearts of the Innocent album is one of those few albums where 100% of the songs are good and at least half the songs are great. The title track pretty much sets the tone. After that there's a nice mix of hard hitting songs mixed with somewhat of a softer side before things really take off with Million Dollar Man.

If you get a chance, see these guys in concert. You'll come away with an appreciation for the talent that Kutless possesses at every instrument. Front man Jon Micah Sumrall's vocal range and energy makes a live show a powerful experience. He sounds the same in person as he does on the CD. No fancy studio enhancement tricks here. He's the real deal. It's also a blast to watch drummer Jeffrey Gilbert shred drumsticks.

Everyone has different tastes in music. That I understand. I'm 46 and like the sound as much as the teens in our Youth Group. I'd compare them to Skillet and I'm pretty sure the upcoming Brian Neal album will have a similar, hard hitting sound. If you like a hard, edgy sound I'd suggest you give Kutless a try.

5 out of 5 stars A Premier Bach Series Recording.......2007-03-26

I purchased these recordings nearly 20 years ago, when Deutsche Gramophone was still selling them as five individual discs, and at over $20 per disc. With the re-release of the set of all five discs in a single, price-reduced "Collectors Edition" box set, the price has fallen by more than half, making this one of the outstanding values for high-quality Bach recordings on today's market.

But what about the performances? Here's the best way I can sum it up. Having listened to these disks for some two decades, in the car, on the main home stereo system, on portable equipment, on the boom box, and etc., etc., it is, I imagine, inevitable that one ends up memorizing nearly every note. And with that familiarity comes the ability to detect flaws in the performance, missteps, missed beats, the occasional off-tone instrument. Here's the rub: it is difficult to locate any significant flaw in the performances. These performances are about as perfect as one can get, but having said that, there is more. The sound reproduction of this recording remains near or at the top of any Bach recordings with which I've become familiar, and remains in my own thinking the de facto standard by which other performances should be measured.

Sound too good to be true? Pick up a set and see for yourself. And then relish the thought that you paid $40 for a set worth far more.

5 out of 5 stars A nice way to complete your collection of Bach's concertos..........2007-02-21

...and cheap to boot. This, paired with the Brandenburg Concertos/Overtures compilation from Arkiv (also featuring Pinnock and the English Concert), gives any new Bach fan a fairly complete account of Bach's instrumental orchestral output. This particular package includes all of Bach's keyboard concertos (played exceptionally well by Pinnock), all of his violin concertos, and also his Triple Concerto (Harpsicord, Flute and Violin), several works for Oboe and Oboe D'Amour, and several double concertos (2 violins, and oboe and violin). Highlights are the D Minor Harpsicord concerto BWV 1052, the C Major concerto for 2 Harpsicords BWV 1061, the Oboe D'Amour concerto BWV 1055, the double concerto BWV 1060, and the violin concertos.
This set sounds fantastic and is a great value to boot. Strongly recommended for those who loved Bach's Bradenburg concertos and Overtures and are looking for something new to sink their teeth into.

5 out of 5 stars "Best Bach - Box Set".......2005-11-06

This is undoubtedly the best Back box set I have heard. These Concerto's for Harsichord, Violin, Flute and Oboe are among the finest in classical music. Although the Harpsichord volume level could have been a bit higher overall the recordings are very good. I am very pleased with this CD set with so much music at a very good price. This is truly a collectors gem.

4 out of 5 stars Pinnock is good performer.......2005-09-30

Pinnock is good performer...I drop one start because BWV 1052-58
Might sound better when it's played piano.

5 out of 5 stars Unbeatable Value.......2004-12-15

This set offers unbeatable value. The performances are uniformly excellent. Pinnock's Bach is brisk and sprightly when it should be, but also tender and relaxed when it must be. He is not afraid to slow down and savour the music, unlike many period-performance specialists. He is one of the world's great harpsichordists and his partners in the multiple concerti are also excellent. Simon Standage yields nothing to better-known soloists in the violin concerti.

The sound is clear, deep, and only a little bit on the bright side.

While you're at it, buy the Pinnock/English Concert complete Mozart symphonies. Sure, Mozart's first fifteen or so aren't anything special, but the set is superb and the price unbelievable.

Album Description

"For Cold, music is..." Scooter pauses. "It's real. It's medicine. It's therapy. And I think anybody, no matter what age you are, can be affected by it." A Different Kind of Pain was recorded at Bearsville Studios in upsate New York and produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette. The slow, driving chorus on songs like "Ocean," and "A Different Kind of Pain" belies the strife within the lyrics; and Baskette has handled it deftly.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent gota have it kinda cd.......2007-07-04

Every now and then you buy new music from a band you havent heard of and you appreciate the musicians abilitys, these guys are highly talented,
love the cd and i beleive most true rockers will agree. thanks guys for the great work, keep it up.

3 out of 5 stars For anyone else this would be good but..........2007-06-21

for Cold it is not. One thing about Cold is that they've always been very atmospheric and dark. I remember way back years ago, when their self-titled came out and was blown away by just how f@#%$#% dark it was. And, while a lot of that comes from Scooter's vocals, a good portion of that was the distorted and crunchy guitars which for the most part on this album are completely gone. Because of this, in my humble opinion this is no longer a metal album but it is a rock album. The songwriting is good and Scooter's vocals are good (although not as extreme) but simply, the heaviness is gone. And without the heaviness, Cold just seem like a decent rock band without an edge.

3 out of 5 stars Hit or miss.......2007-06-12

While this album has some splendid material, the majority of it failed to hit the mark. This album is basically a collection of songs that are right on the border of being good, but not quite there. There are a few exceptions, such as "A Different Kind of Pain", "When Angels Fly Away", and "Feel it in Your Heart". None of the afformentioned songs are vintage Cold. I don't believe the majority of the songs on this album can hold a candle to any of the songs on "Year of the Spider".

All in all, not a horrible album, but I wouldn't consider it to be good.

4 out of 5 stars a good kind of pain........2007-04-12

I am one that thinks Cold has gotten better with age. I think they have matured a lot since their self-titled, nu-metal tinged debut. They have progressed into a straightforward hard rock band with above average vocals and songwriting capabilities. I give this one 4.5 stars, and I think it is their most solid effort.

3 out of 5 stars There is something positive to come away with from all of Cold's albums.......2006-11-26

I own all Cold's CD's with my personal favorite being "13 Ways to Bleed". While "A Different Kind of Pain" is not my favorite it's not because it's bad but just because it's different. There is something positive to come away with from all of Cold's albums.

To whoever took that cheap shot and referred to Scooter's "squirrel nuts" how the hell would you know anything about squirrel nuts? Either you have squirrel nuts yourself or you'd like to see for yourself if Scooter has squirrel nuts. Either way you should be horsewhipped for that disingenous personal attack on Scooter.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Production.......2006-02-27

It is almost imposible to find a flaw in this production. Valerie Masterson is wonderful as Mabel, John Reid is fantastic as the Very Model of a Modern Major General, Donald Adams makes a great pirate king & Owen Branigan's Police Sergeant is Superb.
Well worth buying but it is best if accompanied by the libretto so you can get the most of Gilbert's dialogue.

3 out of 5 stars Quality but Staid.......2005-05-30

For newbies: *Pirates* is indeed one of the most pleasurable of the G&S shows. While not the most satirical, not the most ambitious, it is perhaps the most perfectly realized. Particular treat: wonderful music and lyrics for the chorus.

For newbies: the D-Carte Company produced the premieres of the G&S operettas with Gilbert and Sullivan. Until some point well into the 20th c (1980's?) the company performed and recorded the repertory. Thus, there is a rare historical cachet to anything D-Carte.

The Good on this recording: a sly, sonorous, and expressive Police Sgt; sensitive duet singing by Frederick and Mabel; anchoring tempi; a strong chorus.

The Bad on this recording: J. Reed as Major-General is really hard for me to listen to...his instrument is dreadful AND he manages to not be amusing. On the whole I think sounds as if the cast has been performing this show for decades. There is dignity here, but little light or life. I'm not looking for some tarted-up reimagining, but it all strikes me as stodgy.

4 out of 5 stars Solid and Traditional.......2005-05-20

Despite its old production date, the music is loud and clear - no static, scratching, distortion, etc. that you can get some from old productions.

This production is a solid, regular performance. Excellent voices, English accents, original (as far as I know) dialogue, etc. No surprises at all.

I haven't heard the other versions that are available; but this one sets the standard.

5 out of 5 stars The Best of Many, Many Recordings.......2004-03-11

The cast is first-rate. John Reed is in very good form. Owen Brannigan (replacing the usual George Cook) is for me the greatest Sergeant. Brannigan, also found on many of Benjamin Britten's opera recordings, has the bass voice the role requires (I do not feel it should be sung by baritones) and his dialogue remains the standard. I've always enjoyed Donald Adams and his Pirate is also the standard. Potter, Masterson and Palmer are very good.

The ensemble and orchestra conducted by Godfrey create a very exciting, sparkling performance. This is the recording I grew up with and no other has beaten it yet.

All dialogue is included. No updates or major cuts.

I found this CD to be spiritually uplifting. You will find yourself listening to this CD repetitively as the lyrics minister to your spirit. If you try Vol. 1, then you must also listen to Vol. 2. What a joy to hear songs the "old time way."

5 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed it!.......2006-03-12

This CD blessed my soul as I heard Bishop Patterson and others going forth in song. I purchased one for us and sent a copy to
our daughter in Missouri.

4 out of 5 stars Lots of energy, but flawed live performance.......2006-03-02

This is a really energizing recording, but it has many of the flaws that come naturally from a live recording of a worship service. Bishop Patterson was so hoarse (allergies, sung out, whatever), that he can barely get his voice to sound in a couple of places. Also, like many gospel recordings, there are several "call and response" interactions between the soloist and the choir, but the choir isn't miked, and I don't know what they are singing.

A couple of the soloists (other than Bishop Patterson) seem to have limited range, and some have pitch problems (perhaps they couldn't hear the monitor).

My least favorite tracks were the glacially slow and rhythm-free renditions of some old choruses. So slow, in fact, that you have no idea when they're going to start the next phrase.

My favorite track is "My Record Will Be There", which is simply the chorus of an old hymn set to 12-bar blues. But the original melody is lost completely, and the words are just the chorus sung through twice. I miss the words to the old time hymns. Especially when, like in this case, where the 5th verse is the only one that talks about grace and forgiveness.

Theologically, my impression is that the songs on this album are much more about judgment and condemnation than with grace. There's a lot about my record being there when I go before the judgment bar, and about how you can't get to heaven while you're sippin' on gin. I wish there was more focus on what will get you into heaven than what will keep you out. Overemphasis on wrong living gives the impression that you can get to heaven by good works.

Having said all that, it was worth the price of admission to get one track of Christian 12-bar blues.

5 out of 5 stars Great Praise for my Presiding Bishop!.......2006-02-08

This is the music of yesterday that is what we need to carry us through today!! What an inspiration to hear the voice of my Presiding Bishop bringing us back to "the old time way". Most of these songs were here before I got here, but how well do I remember my grandmother, the church mothers, and the saints striking out and going forth in these songs of praise! They sang until the anointing fell and it didn't take long to fall!!! Thank you Bishop for sharing this music with the world and to all who is trying to decide on this cd, well there is just no way you can go wrong with this one if you truly love the Lord. Shout out to my own jurisdictional Bishop, Bishop Robert R. Sanders... Third Jurisdiction of Illinois!!!

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Well worth the price.......2006-04-13

I love this CD. No, despite its name it is not the "ultimate" collection, as scarcely could be expected from a single CD. It is heavy on Mikado, as others have stated. It leaves out things I would have included and includes things I would have left out. But the performances are wonderful, traditional and all you expect from G&S. Considering the low price, it is well worth including in your G&S collection ... as PART of your collection. After the disappointment of the godawful Opera World video series (Don't buy it!) this CD is a joy and a relief.

3 out of 5 stars Not Exactly "The Ultimate" Collection..........2004-12-23

It seems that a collection of Gilbert & Sullivan music that has the name "The Ultimate Collection" in its title would boast a wide range of music, but I found the selection disappointing. Half of the tracks are songs from The Mikado, and the other half is divided between five... yes, FIVE other operettas. This means that the representation from each operetta is awfully scant. I would have liked to see less Mikado and more of everything else, and perhaps some highlights from the more obscure operettas (Princess Ida and The Sorcerer, namely).

In addition, while most of the music is very well performed, some of the vocalists either go a bit overboard or, at the very opposite end, seem to lack expression. For example, this Nanki-Poo (in The Mikado) seems to be overly occupied with vibrato. Katisha's voice is annoying, and The Mikado's low voice often seems to lack feeling and humor. The other idiosyncracies, like the very frightening evil laughing during "A More Humane Mikado" and hissing during "Three Little Maids" really bug me.

Then again, I'm new to Gilbert and Sullivan, and was introduced to the music through the Topsy Turvy soundtrack, which has a noticeably less operatic style, and hardly includes "stage noise"... so perhaps all this is the norm. Do listen to the tracks for yourself, though, before you purchase the CD. Personally, I find that the Topsy Turvy soundtrack, while considerably less ecompassing, is much lighthearted and easier listening.

2 out of 5 stars Where's the chicks?!?!.......2003-05-15

It wouldn't be G&S if not for the ladies - so where are they? How could they leave out Mabel's aria - or Josephine's!? The only female aria included on this disc comes from Mikado, which is the least exciting (if G&S could be un-exciting) of the three! Everything else on the recording is great, but I am still quite disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Not quite the ultimate...........2002-03-25

This is a great collection, but unfortunately it doesn't have songs from all the works of G&S. Most notably, there is nothing from the "Yeoman of the Guard". I still reccommed it however as John Reed is wonderful!!

4 out of 5 stars Great Music - Questionable Selection.......2002-02-05

It's an ongoing challenge to find a recording of Gilbert and Sullivan that combines premium musicality and great theatrical performance. This recording is a true gem on both fronts. My only complaint is that for a "Best of" collection, this compilation is Mikado-heavy and scarcely touches on highlights from other masterpieces, particularly The Pirates of Penzance. This would be my favorite G&S CD of all time, of only it included tracks like "When the Foeman Bares his Steel," "Poor Wand'ring One," and "Dry the Glist'ning Tear," but then again, I guess there's no real consensus as to which are Gilbert and Sullivan's best works, and there are too many to fit on one CD.
