Gilbert & Sullivan patter song, with sarcasm and irony, from 'Princess Ida'. John Reed delivers this up with humor--"...Isn't your life extremely flat, with nothing whatever to grumble at?"
This 1978 album was recorded under the direction of Dame Bridget D'Oyly Carte. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus was conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent.
