If a child must read R&J, get this recording

The language and slang are (as you know), are extremely anachronistic. The narrator explains and translates to modern English beautifully. After spending 4 hours listening to this recording, a modern teenager will be able to understand the historic context of the play and discuss the concepts as an adult

Fantastic! Even my seven year old raved!

If you have a Shakespeare phobia, this is the collection for you. I can't say enough great things about it. The history is good, the actors present it beautifully and the narrator will have you coming back for more. Definitely worth the money!

Extremely Disappointing!

What an incredible pity that Shakespeare's beautiful work is polluted by a commentary that is low-minded and without any respect for the upright and God-fearing man that Shakespeare was and communicated through his plays. Shakespeare would be horrified to hear his work inundated with a non-intellectual, disrespectful, and immoral-minded tone. I am deeply disheartened by this audio, and when I have recovered from my shock and dismay, will listen to the pure plays of Shakespeare as they were meant to be in all their beauty and uprightness.

Makes Shakespeare understandable

This makes Shakespeare so much more accessible, Much better than when I was at school, I am now able to appreciate why he is considered the best writer ever. Love the background history too.

Title: Lorenzetti

Subtitle: Palazzo Pubblico: The Hall of the Nine in Siena and its Remarkable Fresco Cycle

Author: Jane's Smart Art Guides™

Narrator: M. Jane McIntosh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-08

Publisher: Context Audio Guides LLC

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

Lorenzetti: Palazzo Pubblico is the exclusive audio adaptation of the popular book in The Great Fresco Cycles of the Renaissance series, written by the renowned scholar of Italian cultural history, Randolph Starn, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley.

Jane's engaging narration reveals the historical context, the lofty civic ideals, and the artistic genius that coincided to create these powerful images. The consummate political statement made by these paintings contrasts the effects of good and bad government, a dynamic at the heart of the experiment with republican rule in medieval Italy.

The guide is for armchair travelers too! You don't have to travel to Siena to appreciate Lorenzetti's magnificent frescoes in the Sala dei Nove. Create a virtual visit as you listen to the narration. In the PDF booklet (see below), there are small pictures of the frescoes, keyed to the track list. And you can see large images of the frescoes at www.audioartguides.com.

With Jane as your audio tourguide, you will become absorbed in the story of the Sala dei Nove and of Siena's heyday, and experience a deep and lasting appreciation of the significance of this remarkable room.

The 40-minute "Slice of History" background segment is meant to be listened to first. It provides historical context to enhance your appreciation of what you'll see when you take the on-site tour. A printable eight-panel PDF file includes a floor plan of the upper level of the Palazzo Pubblico, and images keyed to the audio track list, to help keep you oriented.

Brief history

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this for anyone interested in Renaissance Art or the very little known Siena history. Most travelers to Siena only see the Duomo and Piazza del Campo. This account of the Frescos should offer tourists more detail about the hidden art works in the city that is normally only known for its Palio. This book should accompany everyone thinking of visiting Siena.

Would you be willing to try another book from Randolph Starn and M. Jane McIntosh ? Why or why not?

Yes, I would like to try another book by Randolph Starn and Jane McIntosh.

Did M. Jane McIntosh do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes.The narrative is not too overwhelming description even for novices.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Absolutely!

Any additional comments?

I would prefer more historical detailed for the price of the audio book.

Pretty nice to have

The review is a good one.. and I really like the test prep at the end. The only thing I would have to say negative about it- is that they dont tell you the works of art in the program. Just the backround information.

Unpleasant reader and not useful

I didn't find this useful in my studies, largely because I couldn't stand the reader/speaker. She was so fake and cheerful that I couldn't bear to listen. Eww!

The Making & Meaning of Art

Good book review for long drives, especially if you have a busy schedule. I recomend using the book along with the audio, helps to put a name to a piece of art

26 chapters separately - companion to book

First, getting 26 chapters as 26 separate titles really screws up my kindle list, (which is already a pain because there's no subdirectories)

Second, this audio is a supplement to a book, without buying the book the audio is not very useful.

But... it sounds pretty interesting and has inspired me to buy the book, so... I'll see how I like it after I have the book.

Finally, there is a CD version of the book, it really would be nice if there was a kindle/audible package of the book (with illustrations) and this audio companion.
