Simon Callow reads W. H. Auden's "Funeral Blues" 

I lost my husband 5 days ago on the 14th, and this is exactly how I feel. Night night Lenny, sleep well my angel xxxxxxxxxx

Oh, my heart! How wrenchingly beautiful!

A great actor reading one of the greatest poems ever written. I loved you in :"A room with a view" and in : "Amadeus" and in : "4 weddings..." Little did I know that I'd see you reading the poem that was recited at your character's funeral. May you live in health till 120!

When a great actor is in command of his craft we can expect real profundity and emotion. Bravo Simon.

He’s reading his own character’s eulogy from four weddings and a funeral.

Like so many others, I was introduced to W.H. Auden's work through the movie "Four Weddings And A Funeral". I promptly bought a book containing most of his poetry. What range he demonstrated!

A gifted poet, he sublimely captures the desolate of loss. Such a talent is rare, he roundly deserves all accolades and recognition that he has been given.

Perfection. Its overwhelming beautiful

So, so powerful.

What a performance, goosebumps all the way! Thank you

A brilliant recitation that has embraced the poem’s dichotomous context! A masterclass in acting!

What a great performance. Such a brilliant sctor

Wonderful and deeply touching. Thank you.

Outstanding.

Great performance of Simon Callow

This made me weep 😢 so beautifully done

I said this poem at my mum's funeral. 4 years ago

Come all yea musses come adourn thy hearse , wit never fading garlands an never ending verse...

Simon Callow... enough said.

От Бродского !

Callow is brilliant, but it was ruined for me by the intrusive music!.

Ironic and Utterly terrible. Nothing compares to John Hanna's version.

Didn't like it that much, to theatrical,I know he's a actor, a bit shouty, great poem though,
