Aesop's Fables

Dublin Core

Title

Description

2000 Aesop's Fables. Read by Anton Lesser. With music from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and other concertos. Naxos Audiobooks: Junior Classics. Made in Germany. Unknown source

As in the promotional CD done by the Sunday Telegraph, the Vivaldi background contributes, as do sound effects, and voice transformations from Lesser. Naxos had used this same recording on an audio cassette in our collection from 2000 and for the Telegraph promotion. Again there are 66 tracks. The stories are kept brief, and they are both well fashioned and well narrated. Of course there is a British accent. Lesser creates contrasting voices well for the lamb and the crane in the first stories, which I enjoyed. This may be the best simple CD recording of Aesop to recommend to listeners.
