Notes & Reviews	Back to Top

premiere recording of original orchestration with new linking dialogue Librettos included. "Coupled with Trial is Cox & Box, a title which will be the main reason for buying this disc since it is an early version of the piece with some fresh material. The balance between voices and orchestra is ideal and Hickox nicely brings out the nuances of the score in Trial by Jury. His pace from the opening is lively throughout... Cox & Box is provided with sections of dialogue plus some linking commentary by Donald Maxwell." - MusicWeb International "Chandos�s Brian Couzens (recording producer) and Ralph Couzens (sound engineer) have provided a recording with sound as crisp as the singers� superb diction. Aided by conductor Richard Hickox�s sense of balance and energetic tempos that are never frenetic, the recording sounds fresh and provides readings of one well-known work, and one not so well-known, that are worthwhile additions to the library of Gilbert and Sullivan�s beloved operettas." - Opera Today
