Dylan Thomas Reading His Poetry

Thomas, Dylan

ISBN 10: 0007179456 ISBN 13: 9780007179459

Publisher: HarperCollins, 2004

Synopsis

A unique recording with Dylan Thomas reading his own work, as he meant it to be read.

Because Dylan Thomas often wrote as much for the sound of his poetry as for its meaning, he was extraordinarily well-suited to the task of interpreting his own works on audio, the more so for his unforgettably rich, magical voice and dramatic style.

This recording is the preservation of a unique literary resource, a fascinating introduction to the complete experience of Dylan Thomas’ manipulation of language. The poems in this collection are those that he most often chose for his famous public readings and can therefore be considered the ones Dylan Thomas himself wanted us to know.

Includes such favourites as Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, Fern Hill, And Death Shall Have no Dominion plus many more.
