Our Take

Ah, Poetry Classics. The album title alone conjures up images of smoky poetry cafes and berets worn at a jaunty angle. DONAT / GIELGUD / QUINN / BURTON / ETC bring together some of the most renowned voices in the spoken word game on this collection of timeless poetry readings.

From the gravelly tones of Richard Burton to the smooth elegance of John Gielgud, each voice on this album is like a fine wine, intoxicating and full of depth. It's like having your own personal poetry recital in the comfort of your own home.

The album is a treasure trove of British literary gems, with each track transporting you to a different time and place. Whether you're a seasoned poetry aficionado or a newbie looking to dip your toes into the world of verse, there's something here for everyone.

The production on the album is top-notch, with each voice given the spotlight it deserves. The crisp sound quality only enhances the experience, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the beauty of each carefully chosen poem.

In a world filled with fast-paced music and fleeting trends, Poetry Classics is a refreshing reminder of the power of words and the beauty of spoken art. So pour yourself a cup of tea, cozy up by the fire, and let DONAT / GIELGUD / QUINN / BURTON / ETC whisk you away on a poetic journey like no other.
