Artist Biography by Bruce Eder. Marcus Dods was a highly regarded conductor in the concert hall, on the operatic and theatrical stages, and in motion pictures from the 1940s through the 1980s. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1918, he attended Cambridge University and later graduated from the Royal Academy of Music. In 1974, he also made one classic recording of Gilbert and Sullivan operetta and ballet music, A Gilbert & Sullivan Spectacular. In the field of contemporary music, Dods also made a significant contribution with his 1965 recording of Malcolm Williamson's one-act children's opera The Happy Prince on the Argo label, for which he conducted the Academy of S. .Dods conducted Bennett's hauntingly beautiful, Oscar-nominated score for Far From the Madding Crowd and the composer's dazzlingly clever, more action-oriented music for the espionage thriller Billion Dollar Brain (both 1967); his later Bennett score recordings included Lady Caoline Lamb (which was released on Angel Records' classical line) and Murder on the Orient Express.

Gilbert and Sullivan’s ninth work was The Mikado, which outdid even Pinafore with 672 performances. There was a great interest at the time in everything Japanese, and Gilbert was thereby freed to sling his little shafts of satire under the cloak of a foreign society. The story revolves around Nanki-Poo, supposedly a wandering minstrel but actually the son of the Mikado. He is in love with the beautiful Yum-Yum, who is engaged to her guardian KoKo.
