"The singers are first class and well suited to their roles ... The whole presentation is well-rehearsed and the orchestra is excellent ... This is certainly a worthwhile recording to consider".

"Vurdering: BBC music opera choice" - "Scottish Opera braved extraordinary critical snobbery for daring to inflict Gilbert and Sullivan on the supposedly cutting-edge Edinburgh Festival. The Audiences nonetheless evidently enjoyed this one. Baroque specialist Richard Egarr treats Sullivan no less respectfully, bringing similar structural sense and springy energy to the score, and a cast of top-drawer voices headed by Toby Spence's buoyant Ralph Rackstraw and Elizabeth Watts's Josephine, with strong top notes and a pleasantly mischievous touch. Lesser roles are also strong ... As a full modern recording without dialogue, this is definitely recommendable".

"Den saltstänkta berättelsen om förvecklingarna på HMS Förklädet ... [blev] en dundrande succé både i Storbritannien och USA ... Och det är inte svårt att se varför den blev så omtyckt. Gilberts libretto är ett pärlband av vitsigheter och dräpande parodier ... Denna hel färska inspelning ... med en högklassig orkester under ledning av Richard Egarr ... förflyttar oss [fint] till verkets färgrika 1800-tal ... på ett oemotståndligt musikaliskt språk som blandar klämmiga matroskörer med italiensk opera".

"This recording of a concert performance from the 2015 Edinburgh Festival has many fine qualities ... Egarr's ship isn't scuppered, exactly - but it's certainly holed beneath the waterline".
