AUDIO
Recordings from Gurdjieff's magnum opus All and Everything and from T. S. Eliot, Rilke and William Blake
Readings from Beelzebub’s Tales
Readings by Anthony Blake
Gurdjieff/de Hartman music played by Wim van Dullemen
These recordings have been made over many years and consequently vary in tone of voice and delivery. While I have tried to pronounce the sometimes very difficult words of the text correctly - according to how I remember them being pronounced by John Bennett - there are undoubtedly errors, as there are also many imprecise slurring of words. I hope you can bear with me and enjoy the experience of hearing this remarkable book read aloud for its own sake.
Chapters with an asterix are in preparation and I hope to have them available by the end of May 2010
Copies are available only from Anthony Blake in the UK. The Readings are not a DuVersity Publication. There are three disks as itemised below and each costs £15 or equivalent (currently $25 or 20 Euros) not including postage. Proceeds go towards costs of production.
