ストーリー
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.

This is Kazuo Ishiguro's profoundly compelling portrait of Stevens, the perfect butler, and of his fading, insular world in post-World War II England. Stevens, at the end of three decades of service at Darlington Hall, spending a day on a country drive, embarks as well on a journey through the past in an effort to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving the "great gentleman", Lord Darlington. But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness", and much graver doubts about the nature of his own life.

Superb acting, but beware of audio idiosyncracies!
This audio collection is comprised of the six major Austen novels, abridged and performed by a full cast of exceptional professional performers, including some very famous ones. You should note that the cover art does not list "Emma" among the works performed, but it's in there. These were produced by the BBC, which might make you jump to the conclusion that the audio quality is as superior as the acting, but that would be a mistake. The audio magicians do create the illusions that the characters actually are strolling through gardens, or riding horses, or disporting themselves in ballrooms. But the audio levels are inconsistent. At one moment General Tilney is berating poor Eleanor at full volume, then before you can say "Northanger," Eleanor is apologizing to Catherine sotto voce and you can barely hear her. This sort of thing happens at various times in each of the novels. There is a lot of whispering! I listened to them seated in a fairly quiet room, and frequently had to rewind to hear soft sounds. I imagined it would be very difficult to catch all the dialog if I were listening in a car on a road trip, or walking with earbuds on a windy day. I think background noise would obliterate subtleties of production. Just thought you should know in advance.
Another thing..... the editing is not consistent in transforming these performances from radio to audiobook format. Mansfield Park is presented without attribution to (famous) actors or the writer who adapted it. A few other novels have some passing mention of the cast, while at the very end of the line, "Persuasion" has the cast listed at the beginning AND the end of each episode. This was not a big deal, just seemed sort of slapdash. I guess I would have expected more meticulous attention to detail from the BBC.
Even with the idiosyncrasies of production, these performances were totally worth it, and even though I've read all Miss Austen's novels in print and in audio, I'll cherish these versions too.

An Amazing Cast in Each Story
Who was your favorite character and why?
I think a lot of the titular characters stand out. But my real answer is everyone plays their part - Austen didn't create many one dimensional characters. And through her creations I think it created a seamless transition between book to play.
Any additional comments?
The stories are timeless and sometimes I like a good dramatisation over the actual book itself. The case is exceptional - pretty sure most having gone to drama school or come from the theater. Just feels like it could be a TV production and I'm down with that!

Just excerpts
These aren't the full books. They are not even abridged versions. They are only small excerpts. Some of them are quite jarring, like Sense and Sensibility, which begins in the middle of the book, when the Dashwoods leave for Devonshire. If you're looking for the whole stories, this is not what you want.

Great way to listen to Austen's works!
I have always loved Jane Austen's stories, but I never read all of her books. This was a great way to listen to her stories and stay engaged the whole time. I didn't want to stop listening and only pressed pause when I had to (like for sleeping, but I ended up staying up past midnight the first day to finish Emma). The voices were all spot on for the characters. I really enjoyed this performance a lot!

Not As Represented; Recording Problems
David Tennant and Benedict Cumberbatch were only in the first story, Mansfield Park, which was very disappointing. The Sense and Sensability recordings were scrambled across the recording set rather than being in chronological order which was really annoying, and the dialog in all of the stories was modernized to the point of being ridiculous. Mansfield Park was good and Northanger Abbey was fine, but the rest were just not that great. I ended up returning this one. If you really must have the Tennant/Cumberbatch recording, save your money and purchase the stand alone recording which is also available on Audible.

Sadly, there was no Cumberbatch Darcy
I love Jane Austen and I'm a Benedict Cumberbatch fan as well so I was really excited about this series. But Cumberbatch only performs in Mansfield Park (my least favorite novel of Austen's). Overall, the acting was good and I thought that the rewrite kept the integrity of the story. Just don't get your hopes up to hear Benedict Cumberbatch as Mr. Darcy.

Excellent Dramatization
I was a bit leery about whether or not I actually wanted to purchase this due to the negative reviews being so vehement - however, I'm very much glad that I ignored them and went ahead to buy it. The voices were actually very well done (though I was disappointed in Mr. Knightly, but I'm particularly fond of him), and the only thing that I didn't like was the very dramatic crying, and the heavy breathing - but, that could be a personal annoyance. It is a dramatization, perhaps the more dramatic the better.
If you are teetering on whether or not you should buy this, then just know that you won't regret it. It might not be exactly what you expected, but it is pleasantly surprising.

Poor scripts - good performances - mixed bag
Although the performances were mostly good and the casting generally appropriate, I found it hard to suffer through the scripts they were working from. I would suggest that if you are very familiar with the books, you might also react with irritation to some very spurious tampering with sequencing and dialogue (even allowing for the obvious necessity for scriptwriters to tamper in order to shorten and still retain clarify, etc). However, if you simply enjoy a well presented romance dramatisation and aren't familiar with the texts, or simply not as pedantic as I am, then you'll probably find a lot to enjoy in this set.

Some adaptations better than others
I enjoyed these overall. The performances were good by and large, but some of the adaptations were better than others. Mansfield Park was probably the best but I have to say that the adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was terrible. It completely lost the beautiful language of the book and even left out some of the most iconic lines, especially in the famous proposal scene. It was disappointing, but the others were good.

Disappointing
I have listened to all of Jane Austen's audiobooks over the years (and read them all for myself), so just for a change I thought I'd like to listen to them dramatised.
But although I persevered, I couldn't enjoy these productions. There was just too much 'dramatic' over-the-top shrieking and screeching from the more excitable characters.
And I'm one of those people who like to know which actors are performing, but for some of the stories there was no cast or production list at all.

A good listen
What made the experience of listening to The Jane Austen BBC Radio Drama Collection the most enjoyable?
I know the books very well and enjoy hearing them adapted as radio plays
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
I liked some of the performances more than others. The stories are so familiar that I
have an idea as to how the character should sound and this was not always to my liking
Any additional comments?
This is a really good listen, not just for one time but I can see myself listening regularly. Jane Austen is always a comfort.

Abridged, but well done.
What did you like most about The Jane Austen BBC Radio Drama Collection?
This is a condensed/abridged version of the Jane Austen novels, as adapted for radio. It works well in general, but I was disappointed to lose a lot of Austen's witty writing. The voices are well cast and I like the British accents for listening to Austen. The format is horrible though - the novels are all done end to end with no markers for chapters or even headings to tell you that "Chapter 16" is the start of "Pride and Prejudice" while "Chapter 15" was the end of the previous book. The abridging is more severe for some novels than others, which I think impacts on the experience.
Any additional comments?
The bottom line for me is that I wish I'd bought the books separately, and non-abridged versions. This is OK as a light introduction to Austen, but not for the hard-core fans who want every word Jane wrote!

Charming and thoroughly enjoyable adaptations
I'll start by saying that I love all of Jane Austen's novels and will happily watch any TV or film adaptation, so I was always going to be easy to please! That being said, I think each dramatisation was very well done - capturing some of Austen's witty observations through the user if a narrator and at the same time bringing each of the characters to life with some excellent and colorful voice acting by each of the actors.
I found it interesting that some novels were chosen to be continued across multiple episodes while others were condensed right down but all seemed to work quite well.
If you enjoy Jane Austen's works then I would highly recommend this series to you. I had so much fun getting lost in Austen's world while going about my everyday chores!

Good adaption - entertaining
wish they would have found a way to add book titles to the chapters though- its more of a put on and listen all the way through rather than zip to a specific story. otherwise I love it

Really enjoyed
Enjoyed them all. Listening to them was just as enjoyable as reading a Jand Austen.

Extremely enjoyable performances
Very well done to a high standard, brilliant performances. Only jarring note for me were some inaccuracies... for example Anne Elliot is Sir Walter's middle child...not his youngest!

Great performances, wonderful stories
I loved this audio book of stories. The performances are fantastic and I found my imagination taking me to that time and place. Highly recommended for Jane Austin fans.

Who doesn't love Jane Austen?
These were good dramatisations of my favourite books and good value.
Well worth a listen for fans.

Very handsome indeed...
Kudos to the radio dramatisation.... very enjoyable to hear. Words are still true to the 19th Century era; and yet the settings are quite relatable to current times.
