Robert Browning had the power to touch the heart of his readers during his life.A carefully chosen selection of his poemsare presented here.Through his eyes we see his characters beautifully portrayed.The serene picture of The Duchess,followed by the Ghent to Aix ride with it`s galloping rythms.Ccilde Roland making his journey next,over the harsh black plain to the Tower.Brother Laurance,with his sarcastic sing-song outlook on the outside world,is followed by `Home Thoughts`with it`s `First fine careless rapture`
All the shorter poems are lyrical and thought-provoking.The monologues are superb.Del Sarto`s soliloquy on his married state,aaaaand Fra Lippocomes to life as we listen to his lifestory.
These poems are relevant to Everyman on Life`s way with the contemplation on the`Life to come`.
This reader is the ideal choiceto deliver these poems.He creates pictures in the mind thatBrowning would have commended.The works are memorable on the page,but breathtakingly beautiful while listening to the sensitive
speaking voice of James Mason.
