Our Take

In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and overproduced chart-toppers, Richard Burton's rendition of Fifteen Poems By Dylan Thomas is a breath of fresh Welsh air. This album is not just a collection of spoken word poetry set to music, it's a journey through the lyrical genius of one of Wales' greatest literary minds.

Burton's voice, deep and resonant, carries each poem with a weight and gravitas that can only come from a seasoned actor of his caliber. His delivery is both haunting and mesmerizing, drawing listeners in with each carefully enunciated word.

The music accompanying Burton's recitations is equally enchanting, with lush orchestral arrangements that sweep you off your feet and transport you to the rolling hills of Wales. From the sweeping strings of "In My Craft or Sullen Art" to the delicate piano melodies of "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night," each track is a masterpiece in its own right.

Overall, Richard Burton's Fifteen Poems By Dylan Thomas is a must-listen for fans of poetry, classical music, or just anyone looking for a sonic escape from the mundane. So grab a cup of tea, settle into your favorite armchair, and let Burton's velvety voice whisk you away on a journey through the lyrical landscapes of Dylan Thomas' mind. You won't be disappointed.
