BBC Collection of Classic Poetry
Some of the best actors in England reading some of the best poetry in the English language -- any poetry lover cannot go wrong with this version. I especially rejoiced to finally hear the delightful "To His Coy Mistress" read in the spirit in which is was intended (every other reader seems intent on declaiming as if it were "Hamlet" -- yuck).

Disappointing reading of wonderful poetry.
This recording cannot compare with Musical Heritage Society's Treasury of 19th Century English Poets (MHC 312505Z).

The readings (with some exceptions - "Jabberwocky" is delightful and "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is well done - are dull and unengaging. The music is intrusive and unevenly recorded. Not at all the quality I would have expected from BBC, which has released really wonderful renditions of Shakespeare.

I especially rejoiced to finally hear the delightful "To His Coy Mistress" read in the spirit in which is was intended (every other reader seems intent on declaiming as if it were "Hamlet" -- yuck). But the other poems are equally wonderful. ("Jabberwocky" is also not to be missed.)

This collection is by far the best available! Emma Fielding is exquisite! "Lady of Shallot", and "Marina" are especially well done! I enjoyed listening to it so much, and would highly recommend it to the poetry lovers.
