Albert Einstein
Historic Recordings 1930-1947
The British Library is proud to release a selection of rare recordings of the celebrated physicist as he talks about his life and work, the Jewish people and the world of science. This CD includes a live recording of the historic fund-raising dinner on behalf of Jewish charities at the Savoy Hotel, London, in 1930 with the speeches made by George Bernard Shaw and Albert Einstein.
'Another gem has just been published...Hearing numerous speeches by the world's most famous scientist is fascinating enough, but there is an added delight in Bernard Shaw's teasing but educative introduction to a speech given by Einstein at the Savoy in 1930. You might even start to grasp relativity.

'The man himself ? you have to hear him. If Moses had been a German schoolteacher, I bet he'd have sounded like this.'
