The beautiful tone and pure British diction of Nicholas Boulton are put to fine use in this history of the mutiny on HMS BOUNTY. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss how this history differs from previous explorations of the BOUNTY mutiny. Golden Voice Boulton has a masterful ability to let this fascinating re-creation of events unfold for listeners. His performance highlights how this often romanticized story made Captain Bligh into a monster and Fletcher Christian a Byronic hero, interpretations that the record doesn’t reveal or corroborate. This is a long but satisfying listen.
