      It's magnificent really. Manly, deep, sonorous, lyrical.

      It's as much fun listening to this as being slapped around the head with a cold fish caught 2 weeks ago.
      Edit. I like Under Milk Wood when it is done well, with passion, care and talent. This version is cold and unfeeling.

    I watched Under Milk Wood last night [BBC4TV] And my first reaction was King Charles would be a great narrator, he has the speaking voice made for the part, and here he is playing the part .Brilliant !

    Oh! I would love to listen to his voice all day long… I do wish he would record the Bible… So many in the world listen to the Bible rather than read it, and we love the David Suchet version… But Prince Charles would be marvelous to read a few books. What a treasure.

    I might be out of sync with everyone but I thought PC (or KC) was poor. No real rhythm to his speaking. He needed to get more familiar with the words. It was clear he was a bit unsure of his lines. Same with the woman - as if she'd never seen the words before.

    • @rhianwenj7597

    • @rhianwenj7597
      @rhianwenj7597 9 місяців тому +1

      It's dreadful. No feeling. Richard Burton today would still be better than this and he's been dead nearly 40 years. Richard Burton one of the best voices ever. Cysga'n dawl Mr Jenkins.

    • @MacKenziePoet
      @MacKenziePoet 9 місяців тому +1

      ​@@rhianwenj7597 Yes, I'm afraid I was able to comment but on the voice. It is true that the intention, interpretation, and sense of the poem are, indeed, quite wanting. And I must agree that Burton was probably the last great voice to be able to give us the proper sense of a poem...

    • @rhianwenj7597

      @@MacKenziePoet hello. I'm very local to the area where Dylan Thomas was born and raised (Swansea), Richard Burton (Jenkins by birth), Pontrhydyfen, Neath born but raised in Port Talbot, the same town as Anthony Hopkins and Michael Sheen. My opinion but RB has the voice of a rich, fruity luscious red wine, that clings to the glass giving good "legs", his voice flows without effort. Michael Sheen is good but I felt the clip I saw needed a bit of effort, his Welsh pronunciation was good but not rich and mellow and strong. I'm a Welsh speaker as was RB, MS as far as I known does speak Welsh, he's good but.... Anthony Hopkins to my ear is weaker, he's OK but the hairs on the back of my neck stay flat. KCIII just lacks.... Emotion, feeling, atmosphere, doesn't create a picture in my head, just an old man reading a few words.
      The best remark I've heard about UMW was "one of the best bits of Welsh poetry but written in the English language". I'm not a lover of literature, I'd rather do some hard Maths, but UMW to me is special, it also describes my home territory, I can put faces to the characters. Unknown at the time but I've a holiday lodge near the village where Llarregub is said to be based. What is great is sitting on a dark night looking out to sea listening to UMW. I swear those shadows come to life. You've made me want to go there gone 10pm and listen to it again, right now. I'll toast your health next week when I'm there.
      There is a version of UMW that is translated into Welsh. Unfortunately RB passed long before.... Now that would be good, but the man a distinguished Welsh poet and I think he's too "respectable" to give the "edge"... Now I'm going hunting for a copy.
      Sorry for my War & Peace, but UMW is very much a huge favourite. Sweet dreams

      He did drink a lot, but I always understood that they didn't test his blood at the hospital and the treatment send him into a low sugar comma.
      Richard Burton and Dylan Thomas both heavy drinkers, very very heavy. Such a waste of two great talents 😢😢. But, they left a great piece of work with Under Milk Wood. I only wish I'd have heard Richard Burton perform Under Milk Wood in the Welsh translation.
