Free Music Review: Incredible and Magical
Hit: 5 Stars
About 25 years ago a friend gave me this Richard Harris reading of The Prophet as a vinyl album. I typically do not care for a mixture of music and poetry reading, but this was different. This was amazing, incredibly beautiful. What's even more remarkable is this is the type of work that you can listen to over and over and it only gets richer, more intense, more moving. I cannot think of any other work of art that affects me that way, with the possible exception of some great classical music and opera productions.
My vinyl album has long ago lost it's sound quality, so I went to [...] to see if they had this work. They did not. They had two other narrators reciting The Prophet, and I sampled both of them at the Audible site. Oh my gosh, what a difference. Compared to Richard Harris, those narrators sounded like they had no clue what they were reading. They were simply speaking words with banal professionalism.
About 2 years ago I came here to Amazon to see if they had the Harris recording, and they did not. Not expecting any better luck, I came to Amazon today and found this CD. I am elated and inspired to write this review.
I can tell you this: If you love art, if you love poetry, if you can be moved by incredible beauty, if you treasure discussions of God, creation, the self and philosophy, get this album. As one or two other reviewers said, you will be deeply affected.
