A selection of William Shakespeare's much-loved sonnets, read by some of the world's finest actors, together with musical settings from his sonnets and plays. The celebrated musicians have been brought together specially for this recording by the composer Michael Kamen.

Hi everyone, thanks for participating in this ray - hope you'll enjoy the cd as much as I did!
More info: www.whenlovespeaks.com

ps... (same as always) - I love receiving postcards, and usually I ask the participants of my rings to simply put them in the book so they'll get back to me some day... slightly more difficult with a ray... anyway, I'd be delighted if you would take the trouble to send me one...

Journal Entry 5 by wingholle77wing from Meschede, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Monday, July 18, 2005
Unfortunately I am not in the mood to concentrate to these wonderful verses because of private troubles. Therefore I will now ask for the next address.
I don't want the ray to stay to long here.
Edit 21. July 2005: On its way to Diotallevi.

"Love..." arrived yesterday in rainy Duisburg, to my outspoken delight ;-))

Thanx to SudoKris and holle!!

Like Holle, I made a copy and sent it on to the next bcer, fio-dagua.
The poems I could listen to so far are wonderful, of course, and I look forward to the next ones.

Yippee! The ray arrived here today. Thank you to fio-dagua for sending it on and to SudoKris for providing it. I'm very much looking forward to listening to the sonnets.

What a wonderful arrangement of Shakespeare texts - something to really indulge in and to my surprise not at all difficult to understand. How old did you say Shakespeare is? Listening to this CD you might think he's a contemporary poet (with a very few exceptions). Thanks so much for the ring, Sudokris. I enjoyed it a lot, and now I've got a notion to get started and read all those lovely sonnets again. :o)

I've already got Sheepseeker's address, and Will will continue his journey tomorrow.

Heute abend aus dem Briefkasten gefischt... Vielen Dank!

I very much enjoyed this ring, thank you, sudokris. Reminds me of the German 'Rilke-Projekt' which also features this kind of literature/music combination, but being more on the music side.

The CD is already on its way south to Kari-H - Enjoy!

Journal Entry 11 by Kari-H from Bad Nauheim, Hessen Germany on Saturday, January 21, 2006
I received the CD yesterday. Looking forward to listening to it very soon!

Got it today - I'm looking forward to it.

Wonderful to listen to and quite a range of different interpretations, but sometimes two extremes right after another was a bit shocking.
For example Alan Rickman whispering his part and right after that Anny Lennox loud singing ... but maybe it was my fault, I turned the volume up! ;)

Journal Entry 13 by Anna-Lena from Vaterstetten, Bayern Germany on Tuesday, March 21, 2006
Netterweise hat mein Freund die CD aus der Packjstation geholt, da ich ja zur Buchmesse eingespannt war.
Aber nun bin ich wieder ein freier BC und kann euch Bescheid sagen, dass die CD heil bei mir angekommen ist.
Wird hoffentlich diese Woche noch gehört...

RELEASE NOTES:

On its way to Wasserseele...

Received it today, look forward to listening. Thanks a lot!

Sorry for "bogarting" this ray - my English is simply too bad to listen to Shakespeare in a hurry.

Please note that the ray order has changed a bit to optimize postal circumstances: the sonnets are on their way to -aoirghe- now, will travel to NeferSand afterwards and then will go overseas to Cocobarks.

Thanks a lot to SudoKris!

The CD arrived yesterday, thanks for sending, Wasserseele, and thanks for the ring, SudoKris!

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I'd lost the CD under a large pile of CDs on my desk and have only just rediscovered it. I'll contact NeferSand immediately to send on the CD as soon as possible.

I really enjoyed this version of Shakespeare's sonnets, although some of them are delivered in a very RSC-fashion...;-) Is there a possibility to include a tracklist in this journal? I do recognize some of the more memorizable voices (aaaah, Rickman!) but would like to know who else is reading what.

I've arranged with Sintra that I'll make her a copy which I'll give her with the BCID so she can be skipped.

Thanks a lot for the ring!
