Background: John Wellington Wells, the Sorcerer of the title, brews a magic love-potion in a tea pot with complicated consequences for the villagers of Ploverleigh in what is often described as the G&S version of Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore.

'Returning to this freshly remastered recording … one discovers how many good and little-known numbers [The Sorcerer] contains … John Reed’s portrayal of the Sorcerer himself is one of the finest of all his characterisations, and this is another D’Oyly Carte recording which is especially welcome on CD … Decca stretched the recording budget to embrace the RPO and the orchestral playing is particularly fine, as is the singing of the D’Oyly Carte chorus, at their peak.' Penguin Guide

With music by Sullivan and words by Bolton Rowe, The Zoo is a perky one act 'curtain raiser' concerning romantic confusions in the unlikely setting of London Zoo.

'The performance is first class, splendidly sung, fresh as paint and admirably recorded, and it fits very well alongside The Sorcerer.' Penguin Guide
