Good LORD! Matthew Coulton understands poetry! I listened to both Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Frye (both great actors, btw) recite the same poem before I listened to this version, and they sounded like they were … well, reciting poetry. Like a 10th grade student reading Keats in front of the classroom. But Coulton here NAILS it! He understands the emotion … the sorrow and ecstasy of this magnificent work. Great job, Matthew Coulton! “When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe than ours!”
It seems Keats himself is reciting this poem ! So beautiful ! So soothing ! So heart touching ! It was in our syllabus in the third semester of our English Hons. After three years I am hearing this beautiful recitation. This creates sensation in me . 😇😇😇😇
This is my favorite poem in the English language. I've only spent two and a half days in London--but spent one of them at the Keats House in Hampstead. It is one of the best days that I've spent in my life.
I could imagine that this is how John K himself would have spoken this Ode , a beautiful rendition , a subtle brilliance.
This is the best recitation of this poem I've watched thus far!

The only person who disliked this video is Ben Cumberbatch who is jealous of this wonderful reading.

Excellent voice and diction on this poem! Ode on a Grecian Urn and Ode to a Nightingale are one of my favorite poems to read.
It's really like Jonh Keats tells about the nightingale ode to his friend, Charls Armitage Brown which he just has written under a plum tree.
Not mechanic but a beautiful and emotionally brimming recitation.Lovely!👍
Thanks to keats foundation . I love to read the poems of jhon keats . I am hypnotized to listen to this soperb recitation
My soul feels wobbly after your recitation. Too much beauty in too short a time. Thank you.
Well that was a masterclass in poetry recital, of one of the greatest poems of the English language.

You made yourself John Keats. Thanks! It's beautiful. I love John Keats as if I know him.
Appreciation from India. Thank you for your simple but powerful recitation.
Thankyou my favourite poem brought to life as if spoke by Keats himself amazing.

This is one of the best recitation I've ever heard. Almost made me cry.
Perfect recitation. The best I heard. And I heard many
Keats is pouring out his heart to his readers. Its no longer a pain of an individual, but it becomes a general .
I've just found YOU KEATS FOUNDATION channel and am still trembling with a fathomless emotion, thank YOU thank YOU thank YOU 8th VI 2020
