who wrote what?.
there's no indication anywhere to know who's reading what. A real disappointment. Don't bother with it.

No,No,No!
The music is too loud, I cannot hear the poetry. Why add music to the superb original readings.

poems ruined by irritating musical backing
What disappointed you about The Classical Poetry Collection, Volume 3?
There is a loud musical backing to every poem as if they thought the poetry by itself not worth recording - as a result you strain to hear the words. Its an alarmingly stupid idea.
Has The Classical Poetry Collection, Volume 3 put you off other books in this genre?
yes
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?
-
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Classical Poetry Collection, Volume 3?
-
Any additional comments?
There should be a clear warning of this and it should go under the separate genre of 'poetry set to music by idiots'
