Nearly 100 of the most popular and loved poems in the English language, this collection is one of the most comprehensive anthologies of its kind available. It covers a remarkable range, from the striking visions of Blake and Shelley and the insights of Keats to lighter but equally memorable verse by Tennyson, Donne and Edward Lear.
Music: Tomkins, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Grieg, Chopin, Da Milano, Handel, Schumann, Delius, Vaughan Williams
“Nearly 100 selections of poetry from well known poets spanning four centuries. The anthology is beautifully selected and documented and, as Naxos always does, punctuated with carefully chosen music. Father and son, Jasper and Tony Britton, use nicely complimenting, yet different styles for their narrations. They're joined by Emma Fielding. There's a great deal of variety here, from Robert Burns to Lewis Carroll, but each poet is given individual treatment. On CD, the tracks can each be accessed. The pacing, appropriate pauses between selections, mood changes signaled by the music--all contribute to a sterling collection.”
