I'd be happy to DPL.

Very best wishes for 2015! After a dismal and unproductive 2014, I am determined to return to the microphone and give the world my reading of that landmark biography, The Quest for Corvo . It doesn't help that, very near my home, a heavy plant hire company has greatly expanded its business; so that ...

Hi

There it is, then - all complete and ready for cataloguing: another poetic work of magisterial length recorded for the first time.

Congratulations on every aspect of your work on this project.

Very best
Martin

All the best
Martin

Section 13 - also PL OK except for one instance of Goddes @05:46 (line 85), amendable ad libitum.

Section 14 - PL all OK.

Section 11 - @02:32 (line 776) - "boldly excised the intrins(ɇ) knot from the rope" - read as trisyllable ex -trins-ë RB takes up Shakespeare's coinage from King Lear, where Kent verbally demolishes Oswald: "Such smiling rogues as these, Like rats, oft bite the holy cords a-twain Which are too i ...

Section 8 - @00:55 (line 11) - " subsisteth on foundations buried out of sight" - read as subsideth Section 9 - @01:32 (line 238) - "'Twas of that silent meeting [ his high vision came ]" - [ omitted ] @02:11 (line 249) - "the oriflamme of her divinity " - read as dignity Section 10 - @07:50 (line ...

Section 5 - Excuse this nano-quibble, but Bridges' insistently tweaked spelling makes him deduct an m from Keats' Autumn ode: @03:33 (line 355) - "su mm er hath o'erbri m ( m )'d their cla mm y cells". Your pronunciation here may confuse the listener. If he had had Shakespeare's eye for a good line ...

Bravissimo :!: Both sections word-perfect. Another volume completed - and what a marvellously evocative description of end-of-season Balbec. Those closing sentences contain so much of the genius of the French language , even when refracted through the English, that I had to re-listen to them a ...

Hi Andrew The two new sections are PL all OK, and a delight to listen to. Andrée's feelings about Albertine are certainly complex, as we see much later. When young I used to find La Prisonnière and Albertine Disparue the least enthralling of the volumes, but I've now grown to appreciate them much m ...

Hi Andrew Section 34 is PL OK throughout. Some dazzling writing in there. Listening on the train, surrounded by the languorous drawling accents of the young ladies of Godalming College, I was aghast at the difference between Proust's hypersensitive appreciation of these Balbec girls and my petulant ...

Hi

Excellently done; PL OK on latest section.

Hoping to enter the dark wood shortly (just around the corner).

Hi

Latest section PL all OK; enjoyed it in a sunny spot in the park, the terrier dozing at my feet.

Had the pleasure of listening to the remaining two sections this morning (30, 31) and again there are no significant problems and all was PL OK.

Hello again I've PL'd the first of the 3 (Section 29) and it's fine throughout for accuracy. The level was sufficient, too. There are very few noticeable sound-particles, and none was distracting, in my opinion. I just kept letting those great waves of sentences break over my ears. Hope to complete ...

Hi I shall be attempting to return to recording in the next few days after an unplanned hiatus. Please note that I have slightly adjusted the project page to feature Algy as DPL and to use the CC BY Attribution - This recording may be distributed and adapted freely for any purpose, as long as ...

Hi Section 4 - One minuscule difference to note: @ 05:40 (phenomena) of individuat selfhood... - read as individua l In the context, Binyon is emphasising individuation as the outcome of a process of striving, rather than the neutral status of being an individual. (His spelling-system similarly ...

Hi PL is all OK. There were a number of plosives here and there, but not too obtrusive - are you still using the same equipment? Best wishes Martin Edited to add: I've updated the status on the Magic Window, but there's no filename entered against Section 28. Could you please add that, in case I ...

Section 2 spot-checked and confirmed now PL all OK.

Cheers
Martin

Hi - here are PL notes on Section 2 - @ 10:41 - ther wil be speedily also an end of Life! - read as speedily be also Line 500 @ 10:54 - bravely forsook their crowded nestes in the snow - read as (monosyllabic) nests Line 503 [Bridges uses an archaic diminutive to achieve a disyllable - nest ë s ...
