5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing epic alive!, 6 Aug 2004
By Mrs. M. P. Small "Grammatica" (HARROW, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This recording really brings alive the elegant translation by C. Day Lewis. It features Paul Scofield, Jill Balcon, Toby Stephens, Stephen Thorne, Geraldine Fitzgerald and John McAndrew. It is a joy to hear the beautiful, unhurried declamation of the actors who narrate the story and play the various characters. Full justice is given to the drama and the force of the poetry, especially the similes. This version is abridged, omitting most of Books III and V and all of Books VIII, IX, X and XI. The accompanying notes give a resume of all the books, so anyone not familiar with the epic is not left in the dark. There is also a helpful piece about the poem and brief details about the actors. The music from Fanelli's 'Symphonic Pictures' sets the atmosphere.
