William Shakespeare - 90 - Hamlet - Paul Scofield 1963

“What a piece of work is a man! How noble in
reason, how infinite in faculty! In form and moving
how express and admirable! In action how like an Angel!
in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the
world! The paragon of animals! And yet to me, what is
this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no,
nor Woman neither; though by your smiling you seem
to say so..”


The Harper Collins (aka Caedmon) Hamlet, with Paul Scofield as Hamlet. This is a 4 CD set i.e the sound is better than the Audible or Caedmon tape versions. Kindly seed.

(Scofield is not quite at the Gielgud/Olivier level, but, (i.m.h.o) as an audio production of the play this is perhaps the best available)
