George Macfarren was considered by many of his contemporaries as\nthe greatest British dramatic opera composer since Purcell.\nDescribed by Edward J Dent as ‘very full of good fun and on the way\nto Sullivan’, Robin Hood is Macfarren’s masterpiece, one of an\nimpressive roster of now neglected mid-nineteenth century British\noperas, notable for its fine ensemble scenes, witty motifs, and\ndeft, imaginative orchestration. Victorian Opera’s recording of\nWallace’s Lurline (8660293-94) was widely admired: ‘the opera and\nthe performance are both a delight.’ (American Record Guide)
