Title: Rare and Wonderful
Review: This is the only collection by Auden that includes readings of "Law Like Love" and "Musee des Beaux Arts," two of his most renowned (and rightly so) poems. It is worth purchasing--if you can find a copy--just for those. Other tracks are available in other collections and are available for download. But the Voice of the Poet collection is not available for download and so is a must-have on CD for me. Finding a CD (rather than cassette) version of it is not easy without paying an arm and a leg. Be patient.BTW: Auden's recitation follows the cadences of the meter, not the sense of the lines. Very old-fashioned. But his voice somehow communicates the truth of his thoughts beautifully. I treasure this collection (and all the others he made) as new ways of hearing and learning from my favorite 20th century poet (and that's saying a lot).
