a radio adaption of Geothe's Faust
Simon Callow plays Faust, Ronald Pickup plays Mephistopheles and Angharad Rees plays Gretchen, in both parts of Johann Wolfgang von Geothe's Magnum Opus.
The medieval folk legend of Simon Magus, who makes a pact with the devil, forms the basis of Goethe's tragedy. Disenchanted with the limitations of his academic knowledge, Dr. Faust decides to study the arts of magic and to master the supernatural. Mephistopheles appears and offers Faust renewed youth and the power to experience the reality and the mystery of life and all the human suffering it will involve. Faust signs an agreement with the devil, but his soul will only be forfeited if ever his restless spirit is satisfied and content.
Louis Macneice with E.L. Stail translated this version and it was adapted for radio in by Anthony Vivis. Goethe originally wrote this story in two parts, the first in 1808 and the second in 1831, with various revisions in between.
These radio plays were first First broadcast on R3 in 1982.

From the end of Book IX Chapter 36 of Sir Thomas Malory's le Morte d'Arthur.

    Rather bewildered by this translation. Not just that it seems completely different from the one I grew up with, but the words don’t scan with the music. How has, ‘Bread of heaven’ become the clumsy ‘Hill of Calgary’ (and that is one of the less bad scans)?

    • @nigelverney9608
      @nigelverney9608 2 місяці тому

      Good question, though the answer is a little complicated: Over the years the tune Cwm Rhondda has been put to a number of different versions, in both Welsh and English, of the hymn commonly known in English as either "Guide me, O Thou great Redeemer" or "Bread of Heaven". The Welsh "Arglwydd arwain trwy'r anialwch" is a translation of the English "Bread of Heaven" which is in turn a translation of the original Welsh hymn "Gweddi am Nerth i fyned trwy anialwch y Byd" [aka Pen Calfaria]. It's this Welsh original hymn "Pen Calfaria" (that was later very freely translated into English as "Bread of Heaven" and then translated back into Welsh as "Arglwydd arwain trwy'r anialwch") that the miners are singing in this scene. So it's more a question of how Pen Calfaria (hill of Calvary) became Bread of Heaven, rather than the other way round. The English subtitles I added are a very literal translation of the Welsh; as I thought it was interesting to know what was actually being sung. This is why they don't scan. Does that make any sort of sense? The small understanding I have of this was gleaned from the "Cwm Rhondda" wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cwm_Rhondda If you have a look at this page it shows the different versions, and you can see how one transformed into the other.
