"The 1949 Pirates was the old company's high point, with stalwarts such as Green, and the imposing Darrell Fancourt as the Pirate King, reveling in their parts in a way that still sounds fresh. It's and impression greatly enhanced by the deft conducting of another veteran, Isidore Godfrey. This set is a snip at £9.99."
- David Mellor, The Mail on Sunday 5 May 2002
"Good news for Anglophiles-the great Gilbert and Sullivan recordings of the late 1940s are on their way back into the catalogue, at budget prices and sounding better than ever. The best of these discs are not only agreeable but almost magical in their evocation of a milieu that was as close to truly civilized as any we are likely to encounter again in our calamitous era."
