Classical Poetry Collection, Volume 3 ( Unabridged)
This is a wonderful collection of poems and voice talent reading them. Unfortunately, the background music is so loud that often, it is very difficult to hear the poems being read. Perhaps this would have been better without the music? While both classical music and poetry are beautiful in their forms, here combined, the two seem to conflict with each other. Being able to hear the words in an audiobook seems obviously important. In this case, the reading of the poetry was more often than not, lost beneath the classical music. ( Disappointing). Although the description said that this audiobook has musical background, it is unclear how dominant the music is over the voices. Apparently, the sound sample I listened to before purchasing, didn't have much -if any, music in that section.
