Clive, it’s apparently Paul Scofield, BBC Radio 3, 1975. It’s from a site with some wonderful readings, all mouthed by animated reciters, some of whom seem to have been recently exhumed (including a mumbling recitation of “To Be or Not to Be” by the prehistoric Cheddar Man!).
Fascinating what you say about Hopkins, who’s always been a favorite of mine. I was introduced to him early (though I never read him or anyone else deeply), when a schoolteacher saw some doggerel of mine and recommended I read Hopkins rather than Swinburne!
