Sieht mal wieder nach Jungbrunnen aus... Und so süß - ein wenig hold errötet! RAtbäckchen...

iTunes klappte wunderbar und auf CD ist es auch schon... Zum Schwelgen!

Gerade gesehen: Bei Audible und auch iTunes gibt es die "Love Poems" heute kostenlos (laut iTunes aber nur heute), statt dann 3,99.

Er hat eine wunderbare Auswahl getroffen, auch wenn ich mir noch mehr von Willie Wagglestaff gewünscht hätte . Und sein Vortrag ist einfach .



Ich könnte mir vorstellen, das hängt weniger mit holdem Erröten zusammen, als mit seiner Psoriasis . Ich kenne diese roten Flecken von meinem Ex, der gerade in der kalten Jahreszeit auch immer besonders Probleme damit hatte.

Ich habe gerade bei Audible nachgesehen: das Hörbuch kostenlos bekommt man nur, wenn man ein 30-Tägiges Probeabo abschließt. iTunes weiß ich jetzt nicht, aber die arbeiten mit Audible zusammen.

Edit: bei iTunes gibt es das Hörbuch bis zum 9. März kostenlos; welche Konditionen habe ich jetzt jedoch nicht nachgesehen da ich am iPhone bin.

FREE Valentine's treat from us to you: @RCArmitage narrates a collection of classic #lovepoems http://adbl.co/LovePoems

Hat der Arme wirklich Psoriasis/Schuppenflechte Oh je!

Warum sie den Download wohl kostenlos anbieten? Ich hätte da irgendwie ein schlechtes Gefühl- nicht dass er für seine Arbeit nichts bekommt.

Weiß jemand, woher diese unvollständigen Zitate von Richard und Beth Anderson stammen?

NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Audible, Inc., the world’s largest seller and producer of downloadable audiobooks and other spoken-word content, today announced the release of Classic Love Poems, a collection of 15 of the canon’s most enduring romantic verse, brilliantly performed by The Hobbit actor Richard Armitage. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Classic Love Poems is available as a free download at www.audible.com/lovepoems.

“The beauty and precision of the language in these poems has stood the test of time, but they are raised to a new art form through Richard Armitage’s nuanced interpretation. This is true theater, and an exhilarating way to rediscover these beautiful poems.”

The poems featured in this Audible Studios recording are:

She Walks In Beauty, by Lord Byron
I Carry Your Heart, by e. e. cummings

“Narrating these classic love poems for Audible has been particularly gratifying for me as an actor,” said Armitage. “These are some of the most beautiful and most romantic verses ever written in the English language. I hope that those who are already admirers of these works enjoy my recitation, and that those discovering them for the first time through this production fall in love with the melodious and heartfelt poetry that makes Valentine’s Day and every day just a little bit more romantic.”

“We are delighted to offer listeners this very special recording as an early Valentine’s Day gift,” said Audible EVP and Publisher Beth Anderson. “The beauty and precision of the language in these poems has stood the test of time, but they are raised to a new art form through Richard Armitage’s nuanced interpretation. This is true theater, and an exhilarating way to rediscover these beautiful poems.”

In addition to Armitage, among the acclaimed performers who have narrated works of literature for Audible are Dan Stevens, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kate Winslet and Tim Robbins. In 2013, Audible Studios won its first Grammy Award, for its production of Janis Ian’s memoir Society’s Child, and also won the Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year, for Colin Firth’s performance of Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair.

Audible invented and commercialized the first digital audio player in 1997, and has since been at the forefront of the explosively growing audiobook download segment.
