A Magical Performance of the Story,
By
This review is from: Nutcracker (Audio Cassette)
Chistopher Plummer's performance of E.T.A. Hoffman's story "The Nutcrakcer and the Mouse King" is pure magic. He creates all the voices for the characters and also narrates the story too. Tchaikovsky's music is heard in the background done by Michael Tilson Thomas and the Philharmonia Orchestra of London, in a very good perfomance of excerpts from the ballet. Mr Plummers reading is warm, involving, witty, and never boring. It would be nice if this audio book were re-issued and released on CD, or perhaps Audible.com could stock it on their web site. The Translation by Ralph Manheim is quite good and easy on the ear. The book version with illistrations by Maurice Sendak is a classic and a must for every bookshelf. This audio book is a must for everyones library too. |
