Proms 2000 Iolanthe

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Gilbert and Sullivan's sparkling comic operetta remains as pungently satirical about politics and the law today as it was in 1900. It charts the fortunes of Strephon - son of a mortal father and the fairy Iolanthe - as he outwits the entire House of Lords in pursuit of the fair shepherdess Phyllis.
BBC Singers, BBC Concert Orchestra, conductor Jane Glover
