The Complete Collection of Shakespeare's Sonnets, Poetry of Love, read by Stacy Keach. All new Two CD Set (154 Sonnets). $19.95
In his lifetime, William Shakespeare wrote some 37 plays. He also composed over 150 Sonnets, which were first published in 1609.
For nearly 400 years the Sonnets have stirred controversy and raised many questions, including "when and where were they composed?" and "just who the was he writing to?"
These questions, along with many others regarding the true identity of the author, may never be answered, and yet, the gift of Shakespeare's genius is with us always.
"These CD's are a delight. The world's greatest poet read by America's finest classical actor."
- Dame Diana Rigg"Stacy Keach, one of our finest classical actors, performs these glorious Sonnets with great skill and sensitivity. A must for anyone who loves poetry, superb acting, and has felt the joys and pangs of love."
- Michael Kahn, Artistic Director, The Shakespeare Theatre, Washington DC"We’re now in Mr. Keach’s debt for another memorable performance, his splendid new recording of the Sonnets with which, in the words of a distinguished later poet, Shakespeare “unlocked his heart.” Listening to Mr. Keach’s clear, engaging voice is the ideal way to experience the subtle thoughts and deep feelings that make these eloquent works so stirring – as moving today as they must have been to those who initially encountered them four centuries ago."
- John F. Andrews, President, The Shakespeare Guild, Washington, DC
