Editorial Review:

Album Description:
When Love Speaks is a beautiful, classic gift of love inspired by the sonnets of William Shakespeare. A lovely 44-page book features all of the texts, with lovely original artwork and includes a single CD featuring William Shakespeare's love sonnets read by some of the finest actors in the world. Artists Rufus Wainright, Barbara Bonney, Des'ree, Bryan Ferry, Keb Mo, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Annie Lennox, and John Potter perform eight new, original songs. Much of the music was written and conducted by top film composer Michael Kamen.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sonnet bliss
To those of us that revel in the sound of poetry spoken at its best this collection of RADA artists reading Shakespeare's sonnets is pure joy. This collection is beautifully put together and the variety of sublime speaking voices brings each classic verse to life.If this were not enough the spoken voices are intermixed with musical versions performed by some of our most creative contemporary voices from the POP world such as Bryan Ferry, Annie Lennox and Rufus Wainright who bring an additional depth and nuance to their very individual interpretations that will make you want to go back again and again. Oh for more of th same.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a gift!
This cd has made my drive to work so pleasant! Though there are admittedly, a few songs I usually skip, I feel nearly religious about how wonderful the readings on this cd are, and find myself bringing up out of thin air during random conversations.

For me, the stand out pieces are "Shall I compare thee..." which is sung so beautifully, "Sweet love doth now invite..." (which, I saw that Sting has now recorded on his new album but it is a little dry), Juliette Stevenson's wonderful playfulness with her sonnet, Fiona Shaw's reading, and Ralph Fiennes' piece where his voice is full of sharp intensity.

My seven year old has that one memorized. It is something to hear.

I've also recommended this cd to people ... Read More:



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Beautiful, well-chosen sonnets
The musical interludes did not really capture my attention vocally, except for Rufus Wainright's who gave the tune a nice style. The speakers had excellent voices and grasp of the material. I especially like Alan Rickman's, Juliet Stevenson's, Susanah Harker's, and Kenneth Branagh's readings. I recommend this CD especially if you are a Shakespeare fan.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - RADA; Royal Academy of Deficient Actors when compared to Joe Fiennes
If you enjoy Shakespeare you will appreciate this recording of various sonnets performed by various English actors. Some are presented as musical pieces which seem forced and not enough time is allowed between readings,
HOWEVER, the most interesting aspect of the recording is that Mr. Fiennes, who was rejected by RADA as a student, is the only non-RADA graduate invited to participate in the recording.
Also , he is given the honor of performing the first and last selections. The reason why is obvious. His performance is so far superior to the others you wonder why they didn't just let him record the entire program.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I wish Alan Rickman.........
I wish Alan Rickman would engage in more spoken word recordings - his voice is incredible. As another reviewer wrote I, too, bought this CD for Rickman alone, but the cd is great from start to finish. Now, if Alan Rickman would only record something like Edgar Alan Poe's poems! Could you imagine THAT voice doing 'The Raven', or 'The Bells'. Haunting! Absolutely haunting. Please Mr. Rickman (bended kneee) read this and indulge your many fans!

BTW: For those of you who enjoy Alan Rickman, he has recorded 'Return of the Native' by Thomas Hardy -- it is super!
