Your other choices are Robert Bethune, who has heroically recorded ALL of Byron\’s poetry for us, but has has even less understanding of how Byron pronounces \”Juan\” Jonathan Keeble, a supremely accomplished performer who somehow (to my ears, but not everyone\’s) misses the lion\’s share of Byron\’s humor and Charlton Griffin, whose usually over-inflated mannerisms I tend to find off-putting, but who has finally won me over as (so far) the best-ever performer of the entire poem. Davidson somehow does not know how Byron pronounces \”Juan,\” and for some reason reads the stanza numbers out loud, but his impersonation of Byron\’s *narrator* seems to me the best full-length interpretation on Audible. But if you want to listen to the whole shimmering shebang, you could do worse than Frederick Davidson. And Tyrone Power\’s similar selection is certainly worthwhile.

Until then, Michael Sheen\’s reading of a 22-minute selection from Canto One on the \”Great Poets of the Romantic Age\” anthology is not to be missed (but what uncredited actress so splendidly takes on the women\’s parts?).

Looking for an audiobook of Byron\’s comic epic masterpiece? Try listening online to Peter Gallagher\’s wonderful free performance of five selected cantos and you\’ll wonder why Audible hasn\’t commissioned him to do the entire poem.
