Most poems very poorly performed by female actress

This Christmas poetry collection is heavily padded with very poorly read poems by some female (if she's an actual actress, I'd be utterly astonished) . DON'T BUY!

Publisher's Summary:

The trials and triumphs of Robert Frost's life flow from narrative to poetry in this one-man performance by Arthur Peterson. The show celebrates the genius of Frost while tracing his life from his youth in San Francisco through his married life on a New England farm, to his early literary success in England and his later years as America's poet laureate. From Frost's homespun Yankee wit and wisdom, we gain personal insight into the poet's developing sensibility and the context of his major poems. The performance includes "Mending Wall," "Birches," "The Road Not Taken," "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," and 10 other poems.

(P)1990 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

Critic Reviews:

"A full-length biographical portrait...the poetry begins in delight and ends in wisdom." (The New York Times)

"Some of the poet's best known verses take on added meaning and emotional content in a biographical context." (The Hollywood Reporter

Listen to Sample

You will note this is not a recitation of Frost's collection of poetry of the same name. Presumably it is a narrator reading a speech delivered by Frost at Cambridge (?) University.

Robert Frost did not have the sense of humor of a Mark Twain as a speaker. But he was not this bad. Voice inflection pace of the speaker is also critical. Audience reaction is all but negligible. I suspect when presented by Frost the address was a good deal more interesting. As I recall there was applause at only one place during the reading, aside from the beginning and end.

The poetry of Frost, for want of a better term, is woven into the fabric of the speech itself. I don't recall that any poems were read in entirety. I suspect Frost could have pulled this off before an audience familiar with his poetry. This narrator doesn't. It's not that he doesn't try as he's clearly familiar with Frost's material. He simply doesn't sound anything like the Robert Frost those of us heard on the various vinyls where the poet read his own work in the 1950's and 1960's or at JFK's inaguration.

Clarity in narration, the "speed" at which it's read, etc. are not the only factors to be considered when judging narration. This narrator doesn't sound like Robert Frost. For those who have heard a recording of the JFK inagural speech which includes Frost's presentation, and it was by a very elderly poet on a very cold day, it's especially clear that there's not the desired amount of Frost in this audio book. It's a shame.

Resumen del editor:

Jesús Isarrarás es uno de los mejores declamadores de México. A través de sus Poemas en Contraste nos acerca con alta sensibilidad a poetas que igual nos mueven al amor, a la denuncia social, a la pasión, a la ternura y también, por supuesto, a la risa. Ahí está Borges, Cardenal, Efraín Huerta, haciendo el contraste con Chava Flores y Luis M. Campos, entre otros. Escuchar la voz grave y modulada, bravía y sensual de Isarrarás es dar a la poesía el justo tono para hacer propios los sentimientos y emociones de los poetas.

Jesús Isarrarás is one of the best reciter in Mexico. Through his Poems in Contrast he brings us, with high sensitivity, to poets who equally move us to love, to social denunciation, to passion, to tenderness, and also, of course, to laughter. There is Borges, Cardinal, Efraín Huerta, contrasted with Chava Flores and Luis M. Campos, among others. To listen to Isarrarás's modulated, brave, and sensual voice is to give poetry the right tone to make the poets' feelings and emotions our own.

Titre: Les Fourberies de Scapin

Auteur: Molière

Narrateur: Claude Rich, Louis de Funès, François Périer, Sophie Desmarets, Jean Desailly

Format: Original Recording

Durée: 1 hr and 20 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 02-19-15

Éditeur: Frémeaux & Associés

Genres: Classics, Poetry

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Écrite par Molière en 1671, Les Fourberies de Scapin est sans doute l'une des pièces les plus appréciées du répertoire théâtral. Pastiche en 3 actes de la commedia dell'arte, dont l'intrigue se déroule à Naples, les répliques en prose fusent à un rythme enlevé. Enregistré spécialement pour l'audio, ce livre audio présente la pièce dans sa version complète. L'auditeur retrouve avec délectation la voix des grands comédiens du théâtre français (François Périer, Jean Desailly,...) soutenus ici par la verve et l'inébranlable talent comique de Louis de Funès et Claude Rich, alors jeune premier.

Frémeaux & Associés a le plaisir de remettre à disposition du public cet enregistrement historique, qui a reçu le Grand Prix du Disque Français lors de sa parution initiale en 1957.
