Title: Too much commentary, not enough Tennyson
Review: The readers for this audio recording performed satisfactorily. Derek Jacobi was particularly fine. However, there was too much narration between the poems. The commentators should have worked briefly, and before the poems, not between them.A poor choice for those who expect an uninterrupted stream of beautiful English poetry. We paid for an audio book of Tennyson, not stale controversy about him.For those interested in better recitations, try the Caedmon listings.
