Surrealism Reviewed is a collection of spoken word recordings by Surrealist artists, writers and poets. Made between 1929 and 1963, these historic audio recordings include poetry readings, interviews, lectures and manifestos. Most are in the English language, though some are in French (marked FR below). The remarkable contributions by Robert Desnos and Herbert Read were feared lost for several decades, unheard since they were cut onto acetate discs in the 1930s.
Running for 74 minutes, with detailed sleevenotes, Surrealism Reviewed is a must for all students of 20th century art, literature and the avant-garde, as well as left-field creative ideas and endeavour.
