Über diesen Titel

Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4, Jeremy Irons' perceptive reading illuminates the poetry of T. S. Eliot in all its complexity. Major poems range from 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' through the post-war desolation of 'The Waste Land' and the spiritual struggle of 'Ash-Wednesday', to the enduring charm of 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats'.

The Spectator praised Jeremy Irons' interpretation as 'so accessible, reading Eliot as if finding his words for the first time, grappling with them, relishing them, using them to express feelings that we all share as we struggle to accept, to recognise or relinquish'. Dame Eileen Atkins also appears alongside Jeremy Irons in the reading of 'The Waste Land'.

Kritikerstimmen

"For such a major poet, Eliot left a fairly sparse body of work, and all his mature poems are here. And while many consider him to be a fairly austere modernist, these readings by Jeremy Irons bring out the human passion (and sometimes the intellectual passion) that lurks in the poems.... His versions are simply more human, as beautifully crafted as the poems themselves." (AudioFile)

Alongside Ralph Fiennes whose Four Quartets melodrama is a thing of perfection and artistic bliss, Irons does a read of Eliot not only in a voice that gives colour and clarity but also a certain kind of interpretation to the Poetry. It is a shame that the audiobook does not include ALL the poems from the Collected poems, even the unfinished ones and the "scraps" that are also great. Plus the french ones are missing. But cannot blame them for not going into such detail.
