Title

The Sunday Telegraph Bedtime Stories: Aesop's Fables

Description

2000? The Sunday Telegraph Bedtime Stories: Aesop's Fables. Read by Anton Lesser. With music from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and other concertos. Telegraph.co.uk. For promotional use only: not for sale. Naxos Audiobooks. $10 from Xena 1309, Maryborough, Queensland, Australia, through Ebay, June, '10.

The Vivaldi background contributes, as do sound effects, and voice transformations from Lesser. Naxos used this same recording on an audio cassette in our collection from 2000, and they will release it again on a CD for sale. 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.
