    THE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERETTAS ON 78s: COMPLETE SETS AND ABRIDGEMENTS, 1906. 1950 John W. N. Francis In 1877 Richard D'Oyly Carte commissioned Gilbert and Sullivan to write The Sorcerer, and organized an ensemble of singer-actors to perform the new piece under the author's artistic direction. Also in 1877, of course, Charles Cros and Thomas Edison invented sound recording. More than a century later both the music and the medium continue to flourish, and indeed they have come together often and success­ fully--notably in the many complete versions by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which have set standards of style and ensemble for generations of devotees and amateur performers. This discography documents the complete recordings of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas made at 78 rpm, not only by the D'Oyly Carte company or under its aegis, but also by others with lesser claims to authenticity. Also included are substantial abridgements and sets of excerpts--groups of five or more sides made at essentially the same time and place and with the same performers, whether or not they were ever issued collectively or with consecutive numbering. The following comments set the recordings in the context of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's history. THE ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS When Richard D'Oyly Carte died in 1901, his widow Helen assumed manage­ ment of the businesses he had built, including the Savoy Theatre in London and the opera company, which was then on tour. In 1906 she brought the troupe back to the Savoy for a repertory season of Gilbert and Sullivan, its very first.

He loves Yum Yum, and has fled from his father's Court to escape the attentions of Ka• tisha, an elderly lady. To his despair he finds that Yum Yum is to marry KoKo,a cheap tailor who has been pro• moted to the rank of Lord High Ex• ecutioner of Titipu. When Nanki Poo learns this he decides to hang himself, but is prevented by Ko Ko, who prom• ises to let him marry Yum Yum for a month on condition that he allows him• self to be publicly executed at the end of it. The reason Ko Ko wishes to have public execution is because he has received a letter from the Mikado threatening to reduce the town to the rank of a village unless an execution takes place immediately. Nanki Poo agrees. He has already disclosed his identity to Yum Yum, although Ko Ko does not know that he is the son of the Mikado. Ko Ko then discovers that when a Japanese husband is beheaded his wife must be buried alive with him. Yum Yum cannot face this, but when Ko Ko hears that the Mikado is approaching he bundles Yum Yum off to marry Nanki Poo and makes a false certificate of the execution.
