The Colonial Radio Theatre pulls out all the stops in this magnificent production of the Charles Dickens classic! Newly recorded in 2004 (from their original 1998 script), "A Christmas Carol" is a great match for radio theatre, and CRT has remained faithful to the book in every way. Jeffrey Gage has created one of his finest music scores - from the powerful, booming opening of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," to the frightening tones of the Ghost of Christmas Future; add a fantastic cast, a couple of hundred sound effects,(you supply the egg nog) and you have a holiday treat for all ages.

Excellent in everyway

Bob from Colorado - 19 Nov 2004

This program is the ultimate in Christmas oriented audio theater. The music score is awesome, the acting and sound effects superb. The Colonial Radio Theatre folks were very true to the book, and have included sections that are almost universally edited out. This does not hurt the flow of the story at all. Dickens was a master, and this his masterpiece. Download this one and you will be very very impressed... Merry Christmas everyone!

This unique combination of historical and new recordings celebrates Dylan Thomas as poet, writer and performer. Here are some of his greatest poems, stories and broadcasts: readings given by Thomas himself in the 1940s and 1950s as well as new recordings by leading Welsh actors of our own time. Under Milk Wood is Thomas's undisputed masterpiece, an unforgettable, affectionate portrait of a small Welsh town. Written for radio, its intimate blend of poetry and drama made it an instant classic; and so it remains in this unmatched recording with a perfect cast led by Richard Burton. But here, also, are two fascinating earlier radio programmes, Return Journey to Swansea and Quite Early One Morning, written and performed by Thomas, which show the past that led to Under Milk Wood.

The last two CDs contain new recordings of a selection of stories (including Memories of Christmas and A Visit to Grandpa's) and poems in which contemporary performance offers an interesting contrast to the 'authentic' voice of Thomas himself.

essential but with one cut

Kurt Yount from La Habra - 19 Mar 2007

I cannot believe that Do not go gentle into that good night was cut, the last verse, but otherwise it was a great collection and an interesting idea. They almost redeemed themselves because it was read later, but I still couldn't believe it. However it is a worthwhile collection with much that he was known for. Kurt
