THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE

This new version of this classic illustrates one approach to audio literature. John Sessions acts, rather than reads, Naxos’s abridged version, giving each character a full portrayal. Sessions stresses melodrama; he fakes his way through some of the more complex locutions, thus obscuring their meaning. Nonetheless, the tape delivers a satisfying rendition of a tale everyone has heard of but few have actually read. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 97]
