Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 10 Up-William Shakespeare wrote his plays to be performed, and today's students and readers of them are in for an enjoyable listening experience with this unabridged and fully dramatized version of one of his most popular romantic comedies. With its diversified combination of plot materials including classical Greek mythology, fairy lore, love story and the amateur Elizabethan play within this play, A Midsummer Night's Dream can be a difficult play to follow and understand. However, many of he cast members here are accomplished Shakespearean actors, and they skillfully deliver the bard's poetic and masterful language. Locating specific scenes and dialogue from the play is simple with these CDs, as they are identified in an accompanying booklet by the numbered tracks. Listeners will be delighted to easily follow the various enchanted lovers, comic actors, ad fairy characters through the moral and mystical worlds of the play. Beginning and concluding this production and providing musical interludes between scenes is the Scholars Baroque Ensemble, performing historical music from Purcell's "The Fairy Queen." An excellent audio addition to Shakespeare collections.

Review

'These tapes are invaluable not just because of the quality of the diction and presentation but because they are based on the complete text as established by Philip Edwards for the New Cambridge Shakespeare edition of the plays. They may be used in conjunction with the plays or simply listened to for the sheer joy of hearing Shakespeare's wonderful language without having to endure the absurdities of so many modern productions.' Contemporary Review

'Well worth acquiring for any good audio collection.' AVL-Multimedia Information

This review is from: A Midsummer Night's Dream 3 Audio CD Set (New Cambridge Shakespeare Audio) (Audio CD)
This review refer to "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare -Naxos Audio Book(CD) Full Cast With Complete Text From New Cambridge Shakespeare

Who better to tell you a story than The Bard himself? And in this one he takes you away to a fairytale land of magic potions, fairy dust and "rare visions". Add some lords and ladies, some romance and delicious comedy and you'll be smiling all the way through.

All the elements for an enjoyable romp are here. Impish fairies spreading their magic turn the lives of four young lovers upside down with their mystical spells. A bumbling acting troupe finds one of it's members turned into a donkey, yet the object of the fairy queen's affections. All taking place in a beautiful moonlit forest. Will these sprites make everything right for these mere mortals? You'll have a merry time finding out!

Warren Mitchell as Bottom, Michael Maloney as Oberon, and Sarah Woodward as Titania lead a terrific full cast performance that will take you on this enchanted journey.The music will have you caught up in the time era as well.

There is another edition available(the one I have - same cast,production co, etc)so check for best deals and availability - A Midsummer Night's Dream (Naxos AudioBooks) and see my review there for CD quality and details.

Recommended for a delightful way to spend a couple of hours around the house or in the car. Would also make a nice gift for the audio enthusiast
Thanx and...enjoy the read....Laurie
