This video was made as part of the 1981 Brent Walker series, which included Cox & Box and all the G&S operas except for the last two (Utopia Limited and The Grand Duke).

Most commentators agree that the Walker Sorcerer is a strong production (Donald Adams and Clive Revill coming in for particular praise). It is the only professional Sorcerer that we have on video — a condition not likely to change in the foreseeable future.
