This abridged recording by Gilbert and Sullivan For All features former D'Oyly Carte singers in most of the leading parts, although several of them (Cartier, Banks, Humphreys) recorded little or nothing at all with the Company. Ann Hood was a star soprano with D'Oyly Carte, but here sings the mezzo part of Mad Margaret.
