  • Please, excuse my English...

  • Congratulations, man! That was a hard work. I'm actually trying to translate them all to spanish and do use your recordings to get a proper understanding of the sonnet's sound. I thank you, because I really find them useful (and beautiful). Just want to remind you some little mistakes in some sonnets, like number 2, that you said you would correct. Please do correct them: you have done a really valuable work: please, take it to its very end. Thanks! :)

  • Amazing job! Thank you so much. Please do consider Lord Byron for your next project.

  • Congratulations and benedictions, Bertram! It has been rewarding, and in addition, very impressive to monitor your gradual completion of this particular project. Although you may bemoan the delays you have encountered, the recording and performance quality of your more recent uploads has been more than worth the wait. I sincerely hope we hear more from you soon!

  • Thank you Bertram! I'm making the acting Shakesppeare in RADA and this monday I've got a showing of Shakespeare's Sonnets and It was a pleasure hear you.
