superb readings -- of course!, 2008-07-24
I've owned the cassette version of this recording for some time: it's simply superb, which is what you would expect from such seasoned British actors. Nathaniel Parker's readings of The Flea and To His Mistress are particular knock-outs.
The narrative between the poems is also excellent, putting Donne's work in perspective by placing it firmly within the historical and cultural context.
Highly recommended.
 Great introduction to John Donne, 2002-10-26
This set of tapes is a good way to begin a study of John Donne, or if already a fan, to be cradled by his words read aloud by melliflous English voices. There is a good biographical sketch interlaced with some of Donne's most famous works, giving the listener the historical background and influences behind some of the world's best poetry.
