Gert Westphal ist eine Legende: Die wohlklingende, modulationsreiche Stimme, sein untrügliches Gespür für Rhythmus, die souveränen Tempo- und Rollenwechsel, die kräftigen Dialektfarben - nicht umsonst hat DIE ZEIT ihn zum "König der Vorleser" gekürt. Besonders berühmt wurden seine Rezitationen Thomas Manns, dessen "oberster Mund" er war.

Heinrich Breloers Verfilmung der "Buddenbrooks" wird das Kinoereignis der besonderen Art: Er zeigt das Drama um Glanz und Untergang der reichen Lübecker Kaufmannsfamilie in intimen, anteilnehmenden und vielschichtigen Szenen. Regisseur Heinrich Breloer selbst verfasste unter Mitarbeit von Rainer Zimmer das Erzählmanuskript und setzte den Film in eine einzigartig verdichtete und nachhaltig beeindruckende Hörspielfassung um.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2
Kaum einer kennt Russland besser als Michael Thumann, der seit über 25 Jahren aus Osteuropa für die ZEIT berichtet. Er legt nun ein atemberaubend geschriebenes Buch vor, das Russlands Absturz in eine zunehmend totalitäre Diktatur und den Weg in Putins imperialistischen Krieg aus nächster Nähe nachzeichnet. Das Motiv des Diktators und seiner Getreuen: Revanche zu nehmen für die demokratische Öffnung nach 1991 und die vermeintliche Demütigung durch den Westen. Putins Herrschaft radikalisiert sich weiter. Es ist das bedrohlichste Regime der Welt.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Gerade aus der Haft entlassen, möchte sich Franz Biberkopf eine neue Existenz aufbauen. Doch den Lockungen der Großstadt kann er nicht widerstehen und wird schon bald wieder in kriminelle Machenschaften verwickelt, die ihn fast an den Galgen bringen. Das bewegende Schicksal des Arbeiters Franz Biberkopf, der sich in einer Welt des Verbrechens verirrt, steht exemplarisch für den Kampf des kleinen Mannes in einer unsicher gewordenen Welt. Döblin schuf damit einen Jahrhundertroman, der häufig mit "Ulysses" verglichen wird. Hannes Messemer liest diese atemlose, polyphone Symphonie der Großstadt bravourös ein.

Elizabeth Zott wird ihr Herz erobern, ganz sicher! Elizabeth Zott ist eine Frau mit dem unverkennbaren Auftreten eines Menschen, der nicht durchschnittlich ist und es nie sein wird. Doch es ist 1961, und die Frauen tragen Hemdblusenkleider und treten Gartenvereinen bei. Niemand traut ihnen zu, Chemikerin zu werden. Außer Calvin Evans, dem einsamen, brillanten Nobelpreiskandidaten, der sich ausgerechnet in Elizabeths Verstand verliebt. Aber auch 1961 geht das Leben eigene Wege. Und so findet sich eine alleinerziehende Elizabeth Zott in der TV-Show "Essen um sechs" wieder.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
Oskar Matzerath ist anders. Mit drei Jahren beschließt er, nicht weiter zu wachsen. Der groteske Außenseiter betrachtet die Welt mit schonungslos-sarkastischem Blick "von unten". Sein ständiger Begleiter ist eine Blechtrommel. Mit ihr ertrommelt er sich Distanz, fordert, schreckt auf. Wird sie ihm genommen, setzt er sich mit einem Schrei zur Wehr, der Glas zerspringen lässt. So absonderlich der zornige Zwerg ist, so frei ist er. Oskar ist ein unerbittlich scharfsinniger Beobachter des Danziger Kleinbürgertums im "Dritten Reich".

Hans Castorp is, on the face of it, an ordinary man in his early 20s, on course to start a career in ship engineering in his home town of Hamburg, when he decides to travel to the Berghof Santatorium in Davos. The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins. But when Castorp arrives he is surprised to find an established community of patients, and little by little, he gets drawn into the closeted life and the individual personalities of the residents.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins. But when Castorp arrives he is surprised to find an established community of patients, and little by little, he gets drawn into the closeted life and the individual personalities of the residents.

Das Meisterwerk von Thomas Mann als vielstimmiges Hörspiel. Vier Generationen einer Lübecker Kaufmannsfamilie, die zum Inbegriff einer Seelengeschichte des deutschen Bürgertums wurden: Urgroßvater Johann Buddenbrook, tatkräftig und lebenstüchtig, repräsentiert noch das unerschütterte Lebensgefühl des 18. Jahrhunderts. Das Ansehen der Familie erreicht mit seinem Enkel Thomas, Senator Buddenbrook, ihren Höhepunkt.

"Dein Leben soll kalt sein – darum darfst du keinen Menschen lieben!" Das ist der Preis, den der geniale Komponist Adrian Leverkühn dem Teufel dafür bezahlen muss, dass ihn die Inspiration nicht mehr verlässt. Die Regie von Leonhard Koppelmann hält gekonnt die Balance zwischen der dämonisch-düsteren Grundstimmung und den humoristischen Zwischenakkorden. Gemeinsam mit dem Komponisten Hermann Kretzschmar lässt der Regisseur einen klanggewaltigen Hörfilm mit musikalischer Tiefenschärfe abrollen, bei dem Dialogszenen, Erzählertexte, Musik und Geräusche harmonisch zusammenklingen.

Westphal genial
Gert Westphal begeistert selbst bei Thomas Manns schwächstem Werk (Königliche Hoheit). Der Rest ist phänomenal und allein das Wagneressay rechtfertigt schon den Preis!
