Kitty wrote:I have a PL note for the Guardsman in 83 though. Maybe the colour sheet is not very clear, but I thought both the soldiers and the guardsman should recite "Annie Laurie", not one saying the first part and the other the second. It should have been done in chorus so to speak. I think it's not realistic that each would only sing part of the name. Maybe the colour-code was not clear here, sorry. Could you maybe change this, so Craig understands this as well ?

Yes, I was wondering whether I had done it wrong.

But I have re-recorded the entire line and uploaded again. Also fixed the Doc to make it crystal clear for Craig.

Tomas, Sleeping beauty narrator and Porphyro are both PL ok as well.

Porphyro is quite a languishing your lover, well done.

couldn't resist: my last two before I goto bed

https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/worldsbestpoetryvolume2_2_070_various_128kb.mp3
Recording time: 1:22 min.

Note to Anthony here: I tacitly changed an obvious typo in the text here:

As the sun-flower turns to her god, when he sets,
The same look which she turn'd when he rose!

in this text there was "when SHE sets", which startled me, since the meaning is the "god/Sun" which is male here, as one can see in the second line.

I also found another version on wikipedia, which corroborates my thought:

https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/worldsbestpoetryvolume2_2_088_various_128kb.mp3

both exactly the same length...eerie

another dramatic reading from me. only waiting for Jason's part, then this can be assembled.

Oh I loooove Corneille's and Racine's dramas (in the original French at least). Great heroines, huge emotions displayed.

If only we could find a good translator, I would be all for doing the entire Racine works in English. This excerpt actually sounded good too, so this translator would be fitting. Hopefully he might have done Racine works as well.

Thanks Craig, you've been prolific !!!!

I am not sure what sort of technical issues you are having, as cited in your earlier post, but all of these are spot-on. Keep up the great work!

I'm happy to announce that I finished my lengthiest narration: The Eve of St. Agnes, and this despite my sore throat. I do sound a bit husky but I think it adds atmosphere to the whole poem

Recording time: 17:11 min. (*collapses*)

also a shorter poem as bonus:

Hi

030 reduced in sound level. I have not been able to reinstall checker after a reinstall of windows, so I hope it is now OK.
Four more for checking.
