A Great Collection Of a Great Orator,
By
This review is from: His Finest Hour - the Speeches (Audio CD)
Winston Churchill is without question one of the best orators of all time. This CD is a compact, portable, and concise record of his best and most famous speeches including his best known, "We shall never surrender!" speech to Parliament.But if you're looking for a comprehensive, unedited collection than this is not for you. Many of the recordings are snipped, especially the address given in Canada (Track 10) which is cut to around thirty seconds! And this is hardly a comlete record of all his great speeches. All in all, this is a good addition to any collection of the spoken word. It shows just how fortuitous it was that Britain had such a great man to lead it in what truely was his, and their finest hour.

Wow! Listening to Churchill during war time sends shivers up my spine. What a speaker! This is a good selection of some of his best. Sound quality varies, but is acceptable.

Canned Churchill,
By Sam Grant "Big time reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: His Finest Hour - the Speeches (Audio CD)
Here they are! The most famous speeches of the great Prime Minister, providing "the roar" of the British Lion in 1940 and beyond. The words are all there, spoken by the Great Man himself - but, alas, with one or two exceptions, these are not the original speeches, delivered in the House of Commons, or live, in radio address. This is Churchill, at some later time, reading his speeches, in a recording studio, and what is missing is the electricity, the immediacy, the humor, the charisma of the Man in the Moment, not to mention the very real reactions he drew from his audiences. Well, it's better than nothing - the words are still magnificent - but better to find recordings of the originals, as delivered, live and unedited.
