Description
History Speaks” is a 2 LP set of recordings of influential figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Poets and politicians, composers and technologists, a pope and a capitalist, there’s a little something for everyone, and it’s tied together by concise narratives by James Harbur. I’m seeing various publication dates around, but all in the mid/late 60?s. I think they must not have been published together, since the narratives of each volume are similar and overlapping rather than complementary. If you are already interested in historical recordings you’ve probably heard many of these, but I guarantee you wouldn’t have when these came out! The blessing and curse of the internet.
One small error to note - the fourth track of disc 1 side 1 is not Henry Morton Stanley, but Lord Frederick Arthur Stanley. A common mistake, but a historical recording nonetheless. More on this here.
