“A time-honored classic. A piano quartet introduces and delineates time lapses in Middlemarch. Narrator Boyd reads eloquently and employs fluent British pronunciation and expressiveness.”

 

“Another in a long line of classy productions by Naxos Audio. Pretty snippets of piano music by Mendelssohn are used to break up sections. British actress Carole Boyde is nothing short of delightful. Her voice is a little low, a little sultry. She deepens it even more for male characters and adds a gruffness if it suits the character. Her diction is impeccable, as is her timing. Her no nonsense performance quite captures the realism of Eliot's style, yet she imbues just the right touch of emotion to enhance the production.”

 

“Superbly narrated by Carole Boyd, this Naxos AudioBooks edition is technically flawless and wonderfully enhanced with 19th Century symphonic music.”
