Last Spring WHRB paid tribute to Sir Arthur Sullivan in an extensive Orgy ® of music he wrote outside his collaboration with Sir William Gilbert. Tonight, two days before the centenary of his death (November 22, 1900), we celebrate his memory with some of the finest moments of his output, including sizeable amounts of Gilbert and Sullivan, including many historical recordings of the great Savoyards of the past, and a centenary tribute within a tribute to Isidore Godfrey, the devoted conductor of the D'Oyly Carte Company from the 1930's to the 1960's, who was born about two months before Sir Arthur died (September 27, 1900).
