Burnand and Solomon's Pickwick

[piano888]

A new CD from Retrospect Opera - Burnand & Solomon's Pickwick. The first Dickens musical (1889), and G&S-ish (Burnand was the librettist for Cox and Box). Coupled with George Grossmith's curtain-raiser Cups and Saucers, which mocks the contemporary obsession with all things Oriental. Cast is headed by Simon Butteriss.

Thanks for bring this to our attention. Pickwick meets G&S... for me, that's a recipe for pure delight!
