[edit] Best known for...
I took out the characterisation of what he is "best known" for. Some know him best from Ruddigore, and others for Haunted or his opera conducting years. So, maybe better to just let people read through?
The article is a little thin after 1936. Can we flesh it out more? How about a discography? Best regard, -- Ssilvers 18:44, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Much improved by your edits. Alas, practically no discography. A Delius disc or two and not much else. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tim riley (talk • contribs) 00:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Ruddigore
Royston Nash restored The Battle's Roar and the Basingstoke finale in 1970s D'Oyly Carte performances, so it would be correct, meseems, to revert to my first draft on the content of the overture. What think you? Tim riley 23:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- The problem is that TOYE didn't cut both of those items from the show, but he did update the overture to reflect that they both had been cut (one by him and one by G&S). So, you could say something like that his overture excluded themes that had been cut from the show (over the years). -- Ssilvers 23:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
