ROB ROY

This early nineteenth-century classic, which tells the story of the Robin Hood of Scotland, is alive and well in this production, elegant in sound and style. Frederick Davidson’s voice masterfully moves from brogue to dialect, from Gaelic to English. He succeeds at the resonance of narrator Francis, the commanding voice of Rob Roy, the growl of the wicked Rashley, and the beautiful lilt of Diana Vernon. This recording, accordingly, “thrills the blood.” J.D.N. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 96]
