Sullivan / Thomas / Bbc National Chorus Of Wales Beauty Stone CD

The Beauty Stone is a neglected gem among the works of Arthur Sullivan, better known for his famous collaboration with W.S Gilbert. In this premiere commercial recording, featuring some of the finest singers on the stage today, all original music has been restored.
