This is the only complete commercial recording currently available of this terribly neglected masterpiece. Bernard Shaw called Haddon Hall “the best of the Savoy Operas” preferring it to the Mikado. It has high camp comedy and moving pathos alike – and is based on a true story. Indispensable for all lovers of GandS and light opera. "Another winnerand.not to be missed" Musical Opinion "most impressiveandvery professionaland...chorus is excellent.. recommended" FRMS Bulletin "the whole score is masterlyandthe soloists and chorus recreate the authentic period style with élan...enjoyable and well-recordedandbooklet notes are excellentand..most recommendable" International Record Review “High praise for the excellent cast, especially the lovely Mary Timmins as Dorothy Vernon, Fiona Main as Dorcas, and Maxwell Smart as the McCrankie. Good choral singing especially, and fine playing by the orchestra. A libretto is included. In an era in which few operas are being recorded at all, much less repertoire rarities, this is a true find, and is highly recommended.” James Camner (Fanfare May/June 2001)
