MacGowran Speaking Beckett

Claddagh is proud to release, for the first time on CD, our great recording of Jack MacGowran reading from the works of Samuel Beckett. MacGowran in his time was the foremost interpreter of Beckett?s work, and the recording sessions were personally supervised by Beckett. Becketts nephews played programme music on organ and flute, and Beckett himself banged a gong. MacGowran?s voice is a beautiful instrument, and he plays perfectly on it the absurdly tragic humour of the author.
