Les Misérables

朗読CDはよくありますが、このCDはラジオドラマ仕立てになってます。 効果音やせりふに臨場感があり、英語もわかりやすく聞きやすく楽しめます。 このお値段にしてはかなりお得だと思います。

Family Radio Theater makes the best dramatizations. Our family loves to listen to all of their productions.

This is the story, not a musical thingumy. It is not a straight reading of the script, either, but it is magnificent. You have some of the best acting I imagine you can get on audio. I love listening to this. My 10-year-old goes and puts the CD on, too. That does not put it at a lower level, but says that it is so good that a child is choosing to listen to it, too. It is seriously good. It is also not identical to the book. It couldn't be, unless it was about 40 CDs long, anyway. It is not even just abridged, though. there are changes to plot. I don't always know why, but the spirit of it is the same, I think. If you know your British actors, this has Tony Robinson, Brian Blessed, Geoffery Palmer, and they are so good. I don't know where the cover sheet has gone from my copy, but the actresses who play young Cossette, Eponine, and the older Cossette are also outstanding, as are so many of the players of the shorter parts. They deserve more credit- they aren't all even mentioned on the CD case. I would imagine that this is amongst the best work of many of these actors. The backing music is also moving. If you want something to take you to another place, and leave you powerfully entranced and stirred inside, this is a story that I think does that. They recommend it for 8 yrs and over, and that makes good sense, but it is not a child's production. This is serious, high-quality radio-theatre acting, (and it's 3-CDs long :-))

My brother-in-law wore out his last copy, so he was delighted to get this new one from his boys for Christmas.

I extremely enjoy focus on the family radio theater, they make every story come alive.
