DESCRIPTION:
A holiday classic as you've never heard it before. The star of Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Royal Shakespeare Company, Stewart has performed his one-man stage production of A Christmas Carol to sell-out audiences. Now, in this studio recording of the dazzling achievement that has thrilled audiences in New York and Los Angeles, Stewart invites listeners to rediscover the timeless story at its source: Dickens' own, classic words, presented in a soaring, virtuoso solo performance in which Stewart plays all parts.. Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and Ebenezer Scrooge come to marvelous life in Patrick Stewart's critically-acclaimed solo interpretation of A Christmas Carol
The Washington Post Not only is Patrick Stewart wonderful, but this is surely one of the best performances of A Christmas Carol ever recordedBy sheer energy and dramatic skill, Stewart invests this story with not merely life, but freshness, excitement and wonder. -- Review
Candace Drimmer said Ten Starsby a Master Actor. Saw the show on Broadwaybought the audio cassette, and then, replaced it with the CD.This a wonderful listen anytime of year, but most especially during the holidays in December. No matter your religious outlook.Dickens done by a Master.. A masterwork Quite possibly the best performance of Dickens' story ever captured on recorded media. And I really don't hand out praise like that. Ever.This is "A Christmas Carol" in its purest form, unimpeded by special effects, costumes, and familar faces. It is a classic story rendered as a fireside tale that whisks the listener to 19th century England as quickly as a dried leaf may be blown down a wintry sidewalk. In this jaded age of technology and media saturation, it is a n. "Five Stars" according to SoCalBeachRunner. Patrick Stewart performs a reading of Dickens. Flawless and surprisingly original.
