Recordings
Trial by Jury has been recorded many times. Of the recordings by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, those recorded in 1927 and 1964 are ranked the best, according to the "Gilbert and Sullivan Discography", edited by Marc Shepherd. The 1961 Sargent and especialy the 1995 Mackerras recordings are also rated highly by the Discography. Reviewer Michael Walters gives his highest praise to the 1924 recording, but he also likes the 1961 recording.
The Discography recommends the 1982 Brent Walker video, which is paired with Cox and Box. More recent professional productions have been recorded on video by the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival.
