Customer Reviews

Fascinating ****
Fascinating - Mesmerizing.
The Mychael Danna score of the fabulous 'Capote' film underscores and colors the real Truman Capote reading excerpts from 'In Cold Blood'. Capote reads, drones and scares you with his words and visions. If you get into it - it's as deep as Holcomb. A Classic.

Truman reading his masterwork.
I only just discovered that this a CD of Truman Capote reading passages from his masterwork "In Cold Blood." Mychael Danna's music has a haunted quality that perfectly compliments the author's voice. Listening to this singular artist read his own words is too brief a treat, I only wish there were more.

The Majesty of the Spoken Word
Before Truman Capote became a parody of a fallen artist in The Lost Generation, he could craft the written word with precision.

The selections stand alone as a triumph of Capote's pen and his skill in utilizing the spoken word to deliver poignant meaning to sections from his classic, In Cold Blood. The music by Mychael Danna adds a poetic punch to what is truly a special collection of what remains a tour-de-force in American literature.
