There are two versions that I have heard. One is back from the 60's or 70's on EMI. The recorded sound is fine but the singers sing in a "grand opera" style which may or may not suit your taste. There is a recent recording on Hyperion with singing in a more folksy style that I find more endearing, but the recording is extremely dry, something I have rarely encountered with the Hyperion label. I hope this gives you some insight. By all means check out "The Pilgrim's Progress" and "Sir John in Love." I've never met a VW I didn't like! John
