Subject:        Info on Audio Recordings, Please

I'm working on an audio CD on A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth
Night which will form part of the teaching material for a new Open
University course on Shakespeare and Performance. We're going to look at
changing fashions in audio versions of the plays and hope to use
material produced outside the UK as well as a number of versions done by
the BBC and other British companies.  We want to include clips from a
number of audio recordings.  We'd be interested in getting hold of
non-UK recordings and any recordings of either of the plays translated
into any foreign language. (We only need brief extracts, so if anyone
knows of recorded versions of particular speeches, we'd like to hear
about those too.)   I have no idea if any such recordings exist or if
we'd be able to clear the rights to use them, but list members are
always so helpful with this kind of query that it seemed like the best
place to start searching.  Any leads will be much appreciated.  If you'd
prefer to respond privately, my email is Penny_Rixon@msn.com

Many thanks,
Penny Rixon
