A very clear and articulate reading.


(4.5 stars)

Very good and I liked the speaker’s tone. though, i do think some rhymes were meant in this translation that the speaker didnt quite get because they were meant to be spoken in a nonstandard way. But that hardly detracts from the performance.

Good Effort


(4 stars)

A bit of 'fading in' of the first line of the stanza is a small technical issue. A consistent engaging reading.

tough listen
