Wow such a classic treasure
In my view, Martyn Green is the best Modern Major General on CZcams! I am fortunate enough to have him on vinyl (courtesy of my parents record collection).
Maybe one of my favorite songs!
The two excerpts I've seen from "Omnibus "Sorcerer"* and "Pirates"^ are excellent. Nothing O.T. T. (e.g. scenery climbing "Mikado" & almost dropping a volume onto the Associate T. V. "Trial" abridged) but with good mime* and traditional business^ some of which I've done. Except that Elizabeth Meneses didn't understand about giving me the rhyme for"stratagee"!
So enjoyable! I just had to smile at the inability of the orchestra to keep up with his tempo. (Probably the fault of the conductor.) Thanks for uploading these gems of G&S.
Finally, somebody who at least LOOKS like he knows what he's doing.
Loved Martyn Green
Despicable Me 3's Minions got me here!
Where did the other Pirates clips go? I know there were several others. If you could please repost them that would be amazing! Thank you!
I have this cold
The Rockford files brought me here.
Ahah very funny
peak humor indeed
xD
Now this is rap. hahaha
Ye gods, quintessential British comic opera with a grating American-accented chorus.......
Stop us muahahahaha
Martyn Green doesn't keep the rhythm and so he and the orchestra keep slipping out of synch. His articulation is very good, but both Peter Pratt and John Reed did it better.
