1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1851-1900) - 'The full and immediate sound is a credit to Telarc's American engineers. MacKerras is electrically sharp at brisk speeds, sounding totally idiomatic and giving this most popular of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas an irresistible at high voltage.'
- Rosette (highest rating) Penguin Stereo Guide
