Excerpt: Bradley Joseph (born 1965) is an American composer, arranger, and producer of contemporary instrumental music. His compositions include works for orchestra, quartet, and solo piano, while his musical style ranges from "quietly pensive mood music to a rich orchestration of classical depth and breadth". Active since 1983, Joseph has performed in front of more than a half million people around the world. He played various instruments in rock bands throughout the Midwest until 1989 when Greek composer Yanni hired him for his core band after hearing a tape of his original compositions. He was a featured concert keyboardist with Yanni through six major tours, most recently in 2003 for the 60-city Ethnicity tour. He appears in the multi-platinum album and concert film, Yanni Live at the Acropolis. Joseph also spent four years as musical director and lead keyboardist for Sheena Easton, including a 1995 performance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. His solo career began when he independently released Hear the Masses, featuring many of his Yanni bandmates. This debut was followed by Rapture, an instrumental album recorded with a 50-piece orchestra in which Joseph wrote and conducted all of the scores. It was released on the Narada label and reached New Age Voice (NAV)'s "Airwaves Top 30". He has produced numerous CDs/DVDs and piano books under...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6740971 ... Read more

It may not be HTLJ,but it's the next best thing!
I absolutely love this tape! Hearing the voices of Kevin Sorbo & Michael Hurst reading the story of Hercules is just wonderful! The only drawback is that Kevin's side of the tape is shorter than Michael's,but I can't really complain about that,since they do such a fantastic job! I just wish it were available on cd somewhere!

FROM THE CREATOR!
I loved getting to know Sorbo and Hurst. They do a splendid job. I am a fan of the show, so this was something I created for pure fun (and charity). I will be re-releasing this project next year with HUDSON LEICK reading the final chapter! It will also include Sorbo's hilarious outtakes!
All in all this is fun for the entire family and educational as well. I am always happy to answer emails regarding the project. Enjoy, Craig Braginsky (Owner, BMP,Ltd.)

I Want More!
I bought this cassette through Amazon.com a couple months ago (originally it was going to be a gift!)and have to say it has been a truly enjoyable experience! The buying and the listening! Sorbo and Hurst are fantastic.Kevin's deeplysincere tone is captivating and Michael, on Side B, useshis "Iolaus" accent (American) to read with great enthusiasm,like a master story teller. His segment on the Nemean Lion should NOT bemissed by anyone who enjoys listening about Hercules and his labors. By theway, even if you're not interested (in Greek mythology [stories]) theseactors and their wonderful voices will MAKE you change your mind. Okay ...so when's the next tape coming out???

Not H:TLJ ... but still great audio fun !
This tape is great fun to listen to, especially, if you are a "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" Fan. My advice: take the tape recorder, dimm the lights, sit back and relax!

Sorbo's reading on Side Ais extremely convincing and he could easily charm you or your kids tosleep. But Michael Hurst's voice and enthusiasm on Side B revives you,captures you and won't let go of your imagination until the tape isfinished. It's as if you can almost see him in that recording studio,fighting invisible lions while turning the pages of the book.

However, ifyou think the Enchanted Tales are connected to H:TLJ, you will bedisappointed. The story is the classic tale of his 7 labours and for allyou Iolausians out there, Iolaus is not Iolaus, but Iole, a young girl.Also the tape is not very long and Side A is only half-played and you arebeing asked to forwind to the end.

Overall, two enthusiastic thumbs upfor Michael Hurst and Kevin Sorbo! With those reading abilities, they canbabysit my kids any day!

Highly Recommended!!
An excellent listening of the exploits of Hercules.Kevin Sorbo does a great job reading, but Michael Hurst, who reads the second side, is by far the BEST reader I've ever had the pleasure to listen to!!HisShakespearean training shines through and I would buy anything he reads...adefinate MUST for any fan of the series or the legend. ...
