Greetings, everyone! I thought I would share this recording with those who have not heard it before. This excerpt comes from a CD called "I Love, Alas" (Elizabethan Life in Music, Song, and Poetry/Elizabethan in Love) , which is out of print (although used copies still get sold on Amazon UK--I had bought my copy there). The poems (by Sir Philip Sidney and other Elizabethan poets) are read by Jeremy Brett and are accompanied by bass and lute music and the Purcell Consort of Voices choir. You can see a listing of the CD contents here: www.medieval.org/emfaq/cds/blt61699.htm

This excerpt from the CD was uploaded to YT by giuel95. Enjoy!

Seriously, that video didn't need to be tagged, named whatever as being Jeremy Brett. It is so obvious! :P

I find that tags are useful when I wish to look for smth in my LJ archives, say a few weeks or months later :)
