Gilbert And Sullivan - The Grand Duke Or The Statutory Duel
Review by Pseudoerasmus Boukephalos
The Grand Duke or The Statutory Duel is an operetta by the famous duo Gilbert and Sullivan. This album, released in 1976, showcases the witty lyrics and catchy tunes that the pair is known for.
The album tells the story of a fictional European country where a law allows a person to challenge the reigning grand duke to a duel for the throne. The plot is filled with twists and turns, and the music is delightful throughout.
The performances on this album are top-notch, with the cast bringing their characters to life with energy and humor. The standout performance comes from John Reed as the Grand Duke, who infuses his character with a charming arrogance that is impossible not to love.
The music is classic Gilbert and Sullivan, with catchy melodies and clever lyrics that will have listeners humming along. The orchestra is also excellent, providing a rich and full sound that complements the vocals perfectly.
