Ian Bradley is one of world's leading authorities on and
enthusiasts for the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. He annotated
them from top to toe in The Complete Annotated Gilbert & Sullivan
(OUP, 1996), has broadcast regularly on the operas for the BBC, and
acted as consultant to the D'Oyly Carte Company. He is Vice
President of the Arthur Sullivan Society and honorary life
president of the St. Andrews University Gilbert and Sullivan
Society with whom he has performed several principal bass-baritone
roles. His abiding passion for G&S is fitted into his more
serious life as a minister in the Church of Scotland, University
Chaplain and Reader in Practical Theology
and Church History in the School of Divinity at St. Andrews
University. He is the author of more than 30 books.
"This delightful and informative book could only have come from
someone with a vast inside knowledge of the subject. It was clearly
written as a labour of love, and Ian Bradley's enthusiasm is
evident on every page. It is sure to prove compulsive reading for
any admirer of G & S-oh joy, indeed!"--Derek B. Scott
"'Oh Joy! Oh Rapture!' indeed! From Penzance to
Pfennig-Halbpfennig, a new Gilbert and Sullivan text by leading
authority Ian Bradley (author of the G&S bible, The Complete
Annotated Gilbert & Sullivan) is cause for wild (well, sensible)
Savoyard celebration." --Opera News
"Editor of the valuable he Complete Annotated Gilbert & Sullivan
again pursues his favorite extracurricular subject, here tracing
the recent history--1961 to the present--of the so-called Savoyard
movement. Highly recommended."--CHOICE
