I assume (but can't verify) that these are the same 1948 recordings that you can now get on CD here: www.amazon.com/...

There is great interiority in the way Gielgud delivers the lines. Olivier became a superb speaker of Shakespearean verse in later life, in his way every bit as technical as Gielgud. But it's about more than technique. and there is always something more in Johnny G's playing. In his Hamlet he really does fulfil the claims of the old cliché that says you should act the lines as if the ideas behind them are coming into your head for the first time.
I used this recording when I studied Shakespeare. Gielgud's voice brings wings to the words. Utter utterly brilliant.
Simply the best interpreter of Shakespeare...ever. How lucky you were ScotjohnSE to have met this genius
...on revisit ! i enjoyed it much ! LES greets from Berlin ...
Thank you - Aeschylus - for sharing these exquisite gems of the Great Sir John! I believe his was the finest voice for the English language! I was lucky enough to meet him, when I was a youngster, he was appearing in Glasgow Scotland UK! I saw him many years later in London,he was doing his brilliant Ages of Man. Perfection!
Again, thank you for the wonderful upload, Be well, JSE.
Re: lesleypaul59 Burton was indeed great, however in my opinion, not quite up to Sir John Gielgud!
Its a shame there is no video on this. Probably the best Hamlet of his age.
The only guy who ever spoke Shakespeare as well in English was Scofield.
👑👑👑🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️That's Greatest dramatic voice.
thanks for the upload 8D
Johny was very pretty young man and very glorious in age. ❤
This is Hamlet!
