Claddagh is proud to release, for the first time on CD, our great recording
of Jack MacGowran reading from the works of Samuel Beckett.
MacGowran in his time was the foremost interpreter of Beckett’s work,
and the recording sessions were personally supervised by Beckett.
Beckett’s sons played programme music on organ and flute, and
Beckett himself banged a gong. MacGowran’s voice is a beautiful
instrument, and he plays perfectly on it the absurdly tragic humour
of the author.
