I have these episodes on cd, but it is very handy for me to play them on my phone. My girlfriend and I have been listening to these for 14 years or more,(along with Hancock's Half Hour). They are great to listen to in bed when we're crashing out. 2 of the greatest actors, and the great Orson Welles in this particular episode. Thanks for uploading. Peace, love & respect to you and yours. Most singular. 👍🏻✌🏻☺️
The exquisitely courteous British discretion is never better displayed than as Geilgud-Holmes and Welles-Moriarty interpret the terrific dialogue adaptation of Doyle.
Thanks to Maurice LaMarche and Steven Spielberg, every time I hear Orson Welles' voice, I see a diabolical little mouse who wants to take over the world. And now that 'mouse' is confronting Sherlock Holmes. Egad, Brain! You have to win! If Sherlock Holmes kills you, it'll just be Pinky and.... .......? The network will never buy it!
Thinking of connecting Orson Welles' as Moriarty to a diabolical mouse set on world domination made me chuckle. The wonderfully clear articulation of Gielgud, Richardson and Welles is brilliant and such a refreshing contrast to many of today's actors, although those with a background in Shakespeare's productions come close.
For appearances, Eric Porter is the definitive Professor Moriarty. However, for voice alone, it must be Orson Welles. It’s funny, because Welles’ Moriarty is a little subdued, more so than I would’ve expected. But that is the way a criminal mastermind like Moriarty would behave. He draws very little public attention to himself, unless it is praiseworthy, and he has powers of self-control in public that are impressive. But it is all for public appearance. Underneath, he’s just as rotten in his heart as the other members of his gang. The difference between him and them is that he is their co-ordination expert, the one most likely to commit a crime and go unsuspected. They study him, and try to imitate his plan.
Perhaps my favorite episode. Welles as Moriarty is brilliant!
Absolutely 👍🏻✌🏻
The violin is so beautiful. It makes homes really come alive.

Holmes is played by Richardson with Geilgud as Watson

They are able to create this tension even though they are both gentlemen and rational men
