This historic 1974 recording of King Lear brings to audiences today both a great production of Shakespeare's classic, but also a performance of towering brilliance from the formidable James Earl Jones. This recording made at Joseph Papp's legendary open air New York Shakespeare Festival, in Central Park, also captures magnificent performances from the late Raul Julia, alongside a great cast that includes Paul Sorvino, Ellen Holly, Rosalind Cash and Lee Chamberlin.
