Background: Major-General Stanley’s daughters eventually marry an unusual band of Pirates in one of the most popular and tuneful of all Gilbert & Sullivan works which includes 'I am the very model of a modern Major-General', 'Poor wand’ring ones' and 'A policeman’s lot is not a happy one'.

'The recording is superbly spacious and clear throughout, with a fine sense of atmosphere … The CD transfer is remarkable in its added presence … Godfrey’s conducting is as affectionate as ever, more lyrical here, without loosing the rhythmic buoyancy; one can hear him revelling in the many touches of colour in the orchestration which the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra present with great sophistication … Valerie Masterson is an excellent Mabel … but perhaps the greatest joy of this set is Owen Brannigan’s Sergeant of Police, a part this artist was surely born to play.' Penguin Guide
