but they're one of the greatest pleasures

for what I had — while I know what is
better — it's painful to me. I just want
people to know about the beauty that
I've found."

The Bard On CD
While modern marvels are likely to
dominate many of the "best of lists
in our closing millenium, one excep-
tion will be in literature.
Our current millenium was barely
half through its course when the man
still considered the greatest playwright
in the English language was born. It
was in 1564 that William Shakespeare
came into the world and, through
him, much of our best theater.
Some 435 years later, Shakespeare is
.
still celebrated — with festivals and pro-
ductions by the dozens and a handful of
reproductions of his beloved Globe
Theatre. He remains the standard by
which actors are judged, the bar they
must clear before joining the elite.

Dinner
Thanks to the genius of another of
this milienium's favorite sons, one
Thomas Edison, we are now able to
do something earlier generations could
not: re-live some of the best perfor-
mances of Shakespeare from our time.
Rhino Records' six-disc Living in a
Shakespearean Work-/- (spoken word;
$59.97 CD/$39.98 cassette) captures
many of the finest Shakespearean actors
in their classic roles. Included, among
others, are Laurence Olivier's Henry V,
John Barrymore's Hamlet, Orson
Welles' Macbeth, John Gielgud's
Richard II, Paul Robeson's Othello and
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in
The first four discs feature short
excerpts from various productions dat-
ing to the early part of this century,
organized by topic (marriage, jealousy,
ambition). The final two contain a
complete production of Romeo and
Juliet, starring Claire Bloom and Albert
Finney in the title roles.
The handsomely packaged edition
includes an 80-page booklet with a bio-
graphical and historical overview of
Shakespeare by scholar Norrie Epstein;
transcripts of the included dialogues; a
capsule description of each play; and
- numerous photos of many of the actors.
Pop culture authorities Jane and Michael
Stern provide the introduction. The
package also includes a suggested read-
ing list and recommended Web sites.
Even at six CDs, though, this is far
from a comprehensive look at
Shakespeare. With more than three
dozen plays and hundreds of poems to
his credit, a complete set of
Shakespeare recordings would take
dozens of discs.
And even that wouldn't tell the
whole story. What Rhino's set does bet-
ter than even a complete collection
could is to show many of the great
interpretations of Shakespeare from this
century. Here, one can hear many
Romeos, several Macbeths and a hand-
ful of Hamlets. It is in these many dis-
parate voices that Shakespeare's own
voice comes through clearest.
