3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 6 Aug 2007
By J. Thiry (Munich) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The title of this set is "One hundred favourite poems". What it doesn't say is that the poems are presented in the form of a music chart: each poem is preceded by a commentary to the tune of "and in place 5 of this top one-hundred etc." This kind of presentation may appeal to a radio audience but here it soon becomes boring. A reading of Tennyson's Lady of Shalott is among the "top 100", which is perfectly deserved, but why include only the first four or five stanzas? The Lady of Shalott tells a complete, self-contained story: the least they could have done is to tell the listener that this was only an excerpt. Finally, my main grudge with this production is about the intrusive music. Accompanying music is seldom a plus, and is often a nuisance. At the most it can be used to mark the beginning or the end of a piece but it should vanish once the reading begins. Here you will hear Kipling's Glory of the Garden with a violin whining in the background until the bitter end. As far as I could judge the music was not even circumstantial, it was, in this particular instance, Mozart. Why not salsa or the Beatles? At least one in three poems is ruined by music that won't go away.

1.0 out of 5 stars Intrusive music!, 18 May 2008
This review is from: Classic FM 100 Favourite Poems (Audio Cassette)
'Stopping by woods on a snowy evening' was absolutely destroyed by the intrusive music! As the poem is about
' suicide ' , I nearly jumped off the nearest cliff(lol)because of the awful music which shouldn't be there!

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic FM's One Hundred Favourite Poems, 12 Jun 2009
By N. Freeman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just what it says on the box ... a CD of poems - however, the advertising on Classic FM was misleading as some of the more well known poems were not read by those whom you would expect - John Hannah was not reading the famous bit from 'Four Weddings...' for instance.
