I ADORE READING
Y
…coughing like nannygoats…
NYC, late 1953, the first performance.
I have written another lengthy poem in this similar welsh style if anyone wishes to hear message pls cheers
Got this in a mystery pack at a local record store, not quite sure what to think of this
Is this the 1953 Poetry Center, New York, recording? And where can I find part 2?
Absolutely outstanding. The language play in this is phenomenal, it's really English writing at its highest level I think.
It says "part 1" - where can I find part 2?
This is my all time favourite. I have the record which l treasure.
...."and the cat napped..." Thank you for posting this recording.
When read like this, or in Burton ´s interpretation, I get it, I smell it, hear it, see it and taste it. The salt, the wetness of the dog´s nose, the petticoats strewn over the small chair by the bed, and all the other wonderful evocations; I get the musicality of the text, the sounds, intonations and stresses which bring this opera to life.
I will be playing this with my school's drama club, so I figured listening to it might help me get an idea of what exactly this is
Marvellous recording and great to hear Dylan Thomas reciting. He had a good voice, very clear, and not really RP at all. A good cast around him and an appreciative though noisy audience.
Best reading, if not recording, if only the background noise were removed. The Burton's has music accompaniment which fails/floods the sound of the voice. Dylan Thomas was the very best reader of his own poems, as well as others' works, than anyone I've ever, ever heard. This is essentially the music of poetry — breathed naturally, clearly, trippingly, forcefully, etched clearly and un-embellished with pomposity and self-delusion, spoken/sung to apprehension in the broadest sense. He should have loved himself as well as he could see, hear and express, I sadly believe—a master of poetry masters, having died too young—encore, encore, encore...
without doubt my absolute favourite piece of writing of all time. such a talent. such a shame about his life.
Recorded mere days before Dylan's death, if this is the 1953 Poetry Centre New York stage production.
Good but not as good as the Richard Burton, BBC version.
masterpiece
Liquid Beauty. How could anyone possible Not like /love ? Be moved to another universe?
Thanks. I'd not heard this version before.Presume it is from his 1953 US tour?
thank you thank you for sharing this with the world
How dare their throats have the gall to know!
