(2-CD Set) Avid Entertainment is proud to present another in our occasional series of Gilbert & Sullivan releases, Princess Ida & Patter Songs. Opening at the Savoy Theatre in 1884, this work was produced between Iolanthe and The Mikado when G&S were at the height of their powers and was widely admired for it's score and libretto. Revived in 1954 by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company this recording, which has been expertly re-mastered, was recorded shortly after. Alongside Princess Ida we also include Patter Songs featuring Nelson Eddy with Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Robert Armbruster. Our re-mastered recording features an expert in the art of the Patter song, Nelson Eddy - a huge star of stage, screen and record at the time.
