When Love Speaks: Shakespeare's Love Sonnets [Audiobook]Various Artists | Bl-ckst-ne Audio | 3133-19-39 | 3 pages | English | MP3When Love Speaks is a collection of Shakespearean love sonnets as read by famous actors, and songs inspired by Shakespeare’s love sonnets. It contains a 66 page book. [Actually, it doesn't, unfortunately, thanks to sHotfile.com, who nuked this file, and it took forever to find a copy -- albeit sans booklet - Ouzicat] An unusual collaboration, When Love Speaks features interpretations of William Shakespeare’s sonnets and excerpts from his plays by high-profile actors and musicians. It almost goes without saying that performers such as John Gielgud, Jonathan Pryce, Diana Rigg, Ralph and Joseph Fiennes, and Susannah York give accomplished readings of the Bard’s work; the musical interludes, which range from the adult alternative pop of Annie Lennox’s “Live With Me and Be My Love” to Keb’ Mo”s bluesy “No More Be Grieved at That Which Thou Hast Done,” aren’t quite as successful but add diversity. Highlights include Alan Rickman’s reading of “My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun,” Rufus Wainwright’s “When, in Disgrace With Fortune and Men’s Eyes,” and Bryan Ferry’s “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day.” Other featured performers include Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Barbara Bonney, Tom Courtenay, and Kenneth Branagh. As a benefit album for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts -- where most of the featured actors on this album studied -- and as a tribute to Shakespeare, When Love Speaks does an admirable job of marrying high culture to pop culture. ~ Heather Phares Recorded at Waceeffect Studios, London, England and at Voice Box Studios, Los Angeles, California.

Our Revels Now Are Ended (The Tempest) - Joseph Fiennes Classic fM Magazine by Jeremy Nicholas When Love Speaks Sonnets Forty-Seven of Shakespeare's 366 Sonnets are read by some distinguished former alumni of RADA, making it the starriest cast ever assembled on disc, from Richard Attenborough and Kenneth Brannagh to Diana Rigg and Juliet Stevenson. And to hear such rich, wondrous language spoken with such dare and love is a treat indeed. Alan Rickman and Peter Barkworth are particularly outstanding and, while four sonnets are sung in eminently forgettable pop settings, the contrasting vocal timbres add to the pleasure of this unique recording. INTERVIEW with MICHAEL KAMEN 'When Love Speaks' is something that's been with me four or five years. It started with me when I was 36. I started writing an opera on Othello and I wrote the Willow Song - and I'm very proud of it. Needless to say, Shakespeare is the inspiration for so much work that has gone on in the world for the last few 311 years. I decided that the sonnets were his most memorable love poems and I decided to write one - Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? I was looking for people to sing and I went to Brian Ferry expecting, without question, that he would take forever to make his mind up. But he heard it and, about two hours later, I walked out of his studio with a master. I asked Annie Lennox if she'd give me something and she came back very excited, because she'd done a song based on one of the poems. And I also wanted Ladysmith Black Mambazo - when I called Des'ree, who also sings on the disc, she said "I'm working with Ladysmith". And I said "God, can you bring them?". Joseph Shabalala and I hit it off right away and I asked him if he would ever consider singing a Shakespeare sonnet. About a month later, he called from South Africa, saying "you know, I don't really like singing English very much". So I called a friend in LA who did a translation of a sonnet into Zulu and that's what Joseph worked on. As far as recruiting the actors on the disc, that's something I didn't have to do. One of my great friends I worked with on Die Hard and Robin Hood is Alan Rickman - he went ahead and recruited all the actors that we see on the album. It was also Alan who suggested we use the material for a benefit album for RADA. The beauty of all great art is that it expands people's creativity and imagination. The Shakespeare sonnets are delightful - they're each a minute long, they're crafted by a genius and they are very meaningful - the emotions in them speak to us very clearly. When Love Speaks turned out to be a title that Alan Rickman came out with, but it's exactly what the album's about'.
