I recommend this one without reservation. I bought this audo CD thinking it was simply a reading of the Dickens Classic, but was delighted to discover that "Focus on Family Radio Theater" is much more. They have recreated the feel of radio theater without the crappy sound listeners had to endure in the 40s. It was an unexpectedly delightful experience.-The musical score is original and heart-swelling. Fully orchestrated, subtle and professional, they should have won an award of some kind.-The sound effects are believable without being overwhelming...you don't really notice them on the first hearing and have to listen closely to single them out from the story line....excellent in every way.-The narrator is excellent and the actors are too. They somehow manage to convey their characters using only their voices at least as well as most actors do on the silver screen. You can almost feel the nausea and annoyance welling up in scrooge when his nephew showers him with good cheer. Special kudos to whoever played the "Ghost of Christmas Past". This is usually an insipid, unmemorable part, but this lady somehow lets you feel her contempt and pity and annoyance with Scrooge and still feel that she is committed to changing his character...but has little hope that he will change. You must hear her performance to appreciate it. The whole cast is good and several of them I would rate as excellent.The director, or whoever interpreted the dialog did an excellent job as well as whoever scripted it to make it work without visual effects or constant narration.Parts of this performance made me laugh out loud and others brought a tear to my eye. This is simply the best rendition of Dickens I have ever enjoyed.
This is amazing - what a great story & told so, so well. Focus on the Family does an amazing job of producing these stories!
I love Focus on The Family's Audio Theater productions. They are very well done and my children and I will listen to them for hours.! Bought this one for Christmas and we loved it. Caught my 12 year old listening to it way into the night. That makes me happy!
I love listening to Focus on the Family Radio Theatre's stories, and this one is no exception. I've never really enjoyed seeing A Christmas Carol on my television screen, as each adaption never fully captured the true essence of the classic story. This one did. The strong cast, music, and story grabbed my attention from the beginning, and I was lost in the pictures and images crowding my head as I listened. Epic rendition, and I would say this is a must for anyone, whether they love Dicken's classic tale or not!
This is my favorite Christmas story, after the "original" in the Bible - Focus on the Family's production comes alive as you listen - the history of Dicken's original work was hugely interesting as well! I highly recommend this.
