Bellissime! Ovidius mihi perplacet quia is natus est eadem Italiae regione atque meus avus aviaqua. Ejus statuam aestate hujus anni Constantiae (quae erat Tomis) in Romania apud Mare Nigrum vidi (etiam vidi originalem statuam Sulmone quo natus est Ovidius anno 2005). Peregrinatio religiosa erat eum ibi videre! :) ubi Trista scripserat sane. Plures pelliculas facias!
Hey Carlos! I don't know, why do you think so? Feel free to post any critique or suggestions! :) (I may be stumbling in some of the videos, because I don't practice it before recording, and sometimes I don't feel like stopping the video or recording it again.. :D )
There's nothing at all flawed about your readings, so far as I've had the good fortune to view them. However, as I haven't had the opportunity to watch many of your postings, I wrote earlier that my comment may have been premature. Eventually, I'll have more to compare. What was striking was that you appeared to inhabit the Ovid readings to a thoroughly engaged degree. As epic as Virgil's scope is, his narrative and dialogues are infused with small-scale, personal emotion and pathos. Yet your readings of the Aeneid seemed more detached. Now, there's obviously nothing wrong with that. But your Ovid was so much more dramatic and compelling, so my initial guess was that you felt more at ease-or maybe even identified with-his characters than with those of Virgil. In any event, I hope you continue to post. This world needs the classics, and people like you who lavish their talents on performing them. Quel elegance!
Carlos Rosa That's very interesting :) Thanks for your insights! In fact it's the other way round, I like Vergil somewhat more than Ovid! (Although it's easier to identify oneself with Ovid/the persona he creates). I guess it might stem from the choice of my passages and what you watched so far. E.g., I would automatically read the beginning of the Aeneid in a rather detached way, and so the most passages which are narration of the author. If I read Dido's speeches in book 4, what I didn't record so far, it would be more "artistical", I suppose. However, I still have to find the balance between just reading and acting, which, so I think, haven't found yet (some people said it doesn't seem serious any more when there's too much acting.. ;) )

I may be commenting prematurely, but you seem more at ease with Ovid than with Virgil

Musa Pedestris maybe it's the sway of the elegiac distich. Once internalized, there's nothing mechanical, nothing bloodless about meter.
Sehr schön! :) das lese ich jetzt.
Danke schön, du liebe!
