Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

In this fully dramatized recording of Shakespeare's most musical play, director Clive Brill wisely designs an approach that emphasizes clarity. The complicated plot about the comic confusions resulting from ship-wrecked twins, physical and psychological disguises, and mis-matched lovers depends at times on visual humor. In spite of such built-in difficulties for audio presentation, the attentive listener can follow the permutations of the plot and its humor quite well in this production. The songs, however, consistently disappoint. They're hurried, seemingly more in an effort to get them over with than to have them add their own romantic and nostalgic flavor to the tone of the play. G.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars The new standard for the Bard on audio, August 21, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Twelfth Night (Arkangel Complete Shakespeare) (Audio Cassette)
...this new Arkangel recording of Twelfth Night, part of a complete Shakespeare project, sets a new standard. The play's melancholy overtones, delicately poised between exhilarating comedy and quiet grief, reverberate in this marvellously fresh and up-to-date version. A Twelfth Night for the nineties and beyond! The compex action is communicated clearly and movingly, the language is spoken sweetly and smoothly; all the emotions come through as clearly as if one were watching a stage production. Thankyou Arkangel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great recording, April 7, 2000
This review is from: Twelfth Night (Arkangel Complete Shakespeare) (Audio Cassette)
I agree with another reviewer that the Arkangel recording is vastly superior to the Caedmon one. Viola is the key to the whole play, and in the Caedmon recording she *declaims* her lines rather than *speaking* them. It's impossible to fall in love with her; you wonder how Olivia ever did so. Whereas the actress on the Arkangel recording speaks her lines with the requisite naturalness, wit, and passion. The only thing I found annoying about this recording was the incessant bird sound-effects when the scene was set outside. Couldn't the producers have been a bit more inventive?
