One man. One mediocre voice. One less than mediocre microphone. The entire Western Canon. What could possibly go wrong?

The photo present throughout the video is called the Pale Blue Dot, and yes, If you observe it closely, you will notice that there is faint blue dot in the photo. That pale blue dot is Earth, as it is seen from the furthest reaches of our solar system. Within that pale blue dot is everything that matters to you. It is small. It will not last. Focus on things that will. Music is Tchaikovsky's Hy...

The picture is of Sagrada Familia, a Spanish cathedral which has been under construction for about 150 years and will be completed in the next decade. It is an excellent reminder that the visionaries of the world plant trees they know they wont get to sit under. Music featured is the 1st movement from Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

Be a man! Unless you're a girl (then don't be a man) Song featured is a famous German military march - Des Großen Kurfürsten Reitermarsch. Well, it's probably not famous any more but hey! Nobody is reading this anyway! The pictures within are of men who have done great things, as is their nature. See if you can name them all.

It's all her tears.
These are really cool recordings. I've seen on here the 1966 BBC recordings for Ruddygore, Utopia, and The Grand Duke, but I was wondering if you have or know where to find the recordings for the other 9.
Thanks for the comment Jacob. I recovered these from some obscure forum which I will have to dig up. I'll get back to you when I find it. In the meantime, I have the Gondoliers on the way, Pinafore if I can find the first act, plus anything else the listeners would like.
Nicely done
Thanks Willie! I am but a simple man, with a simple voice, with a less than simple microphone, intent upon reading all of the classics in the Western Canon. What could possibly go wrong?
Best storytime on this side of the Mississippi
This is the best rendition of green eggs and ham I’ve ever heard!
Thanks for your comment Brandi! I hope it isn't the only rendition of Green Eggs and Ham you have ever heard.
I live for hearing my favorite classics read aloud 😍😍 love your account, keep it up!!
Can you do twilight next?
