This was the third opera D'Oyly Carte recorded in stereo, but it was the
first G&S opera ever to be recorded with complete dialogue. Moreover,
it touts the best overall cast to be captured on record. It is arguably
one of the strongest recordings the Company ever made of any opera.
The Penguin Guide gave it a much-deserved Rosette.
