The Caedmon Poetry Collection - AudioBook CD
Brand New : 3 Audio CDs 3.5 Hours
A uncommon and thrilling hearing experience. A choice gathering of a few of the
twentieth century's biggest poetry... read by the century's biggest poets -
here accessible on CD
A reawakened love for the sound of poetry has created contemporary poems subtly different
within the poems of the eighteenth and nineteenth centures. We have just to hear
to these poets reading their own functions to understand how significant their
interpretations are to a full comprehension of their poems. The ministerial
intonations of Eliot, the passionate orchestrations of Thomas, the rather fairly
precise formulations of Cummings, the convenient conversational inflection of Frost
are key, lending subtle clarifications which go beyond the printed page.
The truth that this recording involves the voice of Yeats is anything of the
magic. In the early 1930's, when the considered recording poets happened to
limited, Yeats himself created many recordings for radio broadcast. By sheer chance,
an unmutilated copy was preserved; and today the wealthy and melodious voice is
heard by a fresh generation.
The Caedmon Poetry Collection eliminates the battle for best correspondence
between writer and reader. Simply hear and you'll know...
