(4 CDs, BBC Radio/Faber)
In one of the best spoken word CDs in memory, Jeremy Irons has the perfect low, serious voice for reading Eliot’s most famous works including: “Preludes”, “The Love-Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, “Portrait of a Lady”, The Waste Land, “The Hollow Men”, and Four Quartets. Highly recommended for Irons’ fans, Eliot fans, and poetry fans in general. Eliot remains the best early twentieth-century poet anywhere methinks.
