Editor reviews
Summary
This outstanding historical recording made in 1941 for radio is widely regarded as one of the finest Hamlet performances ever, and one of John Gielgud's greatest moments. Though he went on to record it for commercial release, nothing matched this recording in the BBC studios, made before the days of editing.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Music to the Ear
As a piece of theatrical history, this is a wonderful record of a seminal production.
It moves at a stately pace, but I revelled in the poetry of the language, so well spoken by all the cast. It is a record of a different age. I loved it.
