Editorial Reviews

Review

"Rich, robust, and mightily entertaining." -- New York Herald Tribune

"The authenticity of [Holbrook's] narration makes the listener feel like he or she is actually in the presence of the frontier age." -- Media & Methods, January/February 1991

"Uproariously funny, pungently wise." -- Time Magazine


Product Description

Now you can listen to the live performance that brings Mark Twain to life -- voice, celebrated wit, and all. One of the most stunning successes in recent show-business history, Hal Holbrook's brilliant one-man show has played to sold-out audiences in theaters around the U.S. and abroad, and appeared on television. In this extraordinary theatrical achievement, Holbrook becomes truly transformed, recreating the incisive mind and scalding tongue of the legendary man from Missouri. 2 cassettes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holbrook's Twain, April 21, 2007
This review is from: Mark Twain Tonight! (Audio CD)
I saw Hal Holbrook many years ago on the Kennedy Center stage, doing this one man show. After I saw Holbrook's performance, I bought both Columbia LPs of Mark Twain Tonight and More of Mark Twain Tonight.


It rekindled that amazing show for me every time I heard these albums, until my record player died.

The track list was "Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight!" (1959): "Introduction," "On Smoking," "Journalism on Horseback," "My Encounter With An Interviewer," "Huck Battles His Conscience," and "How To Be Seventy." and "More of Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight!" (1961): "Introduction," "Slow Train And Low Dog," "Dangers Of Abstinence," "Problems Of Missionarying," "Accident Insurance," "Requesting A Hymn Book," "Huck And The Lynching Bee," "My Ancestor Satan," and "Encore." All of the two LPS are transfered to this two disk CD collection, with clean masters


Now on CD, the show is rekindled again for me and now my young nephew who I shared these with. He was studying Mark Twain and his works in school, so I played them on a car trip we had. He asked me as we listened to these CDs "Is this recording new, Uncle Bennet?" I said No, but they are new to you.

As much as that sounds like drvel, If you have not heard these recordings, it is worth you time to hear Holbrook orating Twain. He capture Twain the man, the author and the humorist

Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Twain Masters, August 2, 2007
This review is from: Mark Twain Tonight! (Audio CD)
This, as stated elsewhere, is a masterly recording of a master actor doing the material of a master writer. It is as funny and true today as when Twain was alive. Contrary to the editorial comments above, this two-cd set combines recordings previously only issued on cassette or LP. They were recorded in stereo and issued on Columbia Masterworks. The sound is actually pretty good. It is from two different performances before live audiences. These performances are not taken from the video broadcast (now on DVD), although there is some overlap in the material covered. Both these 2 CDs and the DVD are well worth having.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless!, October 9, 2008
By Dr. Eric M. Jones (Wodonga, Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mark Twain Tonight! (Audio CD)
I've owned the two LPs from which these CDs were made for many years. I digitized the tracks a decade ago and, when one of them comes around on the iPod, I have to stop whatever else I'm doing and listen to Holbrook's magnficent performance. Today, it was "Huck Finn and the Lynching Bee". If you have never experienced Mark Twain Tonight - in person, on DVD, or through the audio recordings, give yourself a treat. And then go read some Twain.
