Highlights from the previous seven days of 大象传媒 Radio.

This week, it's all in the delivery - Dylan Thomas reads There Was a Saviour in his incantatory way that implied the spoken word was no less than a spiritual act. Archive of Virginia Woolf speaking before her death, in an arch, Empire voice that reminds us of a very musical register that we no longer hear. And Jim Broadbent reads The Taylor Of Gloucester with all the sweet melancholy of Beatrix potter's finest books. Also, amorous policemen, weeds cadging lifts on trains. Madame Bovary, Das Kapital, butter-churners and polytunnels. And Haydn in an excellent mood.
