I feel like you can't get much better than Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson portraying Sherlock and Watson.
Then throw in an episode with Orson Welles playing Moriarty? I thoroughly enjoyed this!
The only issues I had with it was maybe the order of the stories? They had the case that has Watson and Sherlock meeting for the first time towards the end and the one where Sherlock and Moriarty "die" was in the middle. Silly, but it was something I noticed.
Also, if you're listening to this with headphones on, be careful, some of the sound effects/music/screams will blow out your eardrums, as they are exponentially louder than the rest of the audio.

I'm putting this on hold for now. Listening to the audio version just isn't cutting it. Stephen Fry is fantastic, but I can't stay focused enough to get the whole story, and these aren't the kinds of stories where you can afford to lose focus.

Stephen Fry does a masterful job narrating, but that was a lot of Holmes and Watson to listen to.

This is quite excellent, although this audiobook version is missing "The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes." The 72 hour version of the audiobook is not available in the USA as of right now - I am guessing because in the US some of the stories in that book are still under copyright and we will have to wait until 2022 for them to be completely under public domain. Mental note to check back to see if it's available in the US at that time.
Stephen Fry's delivery is just phenomenal - I found myself laughing at parts of the humor that I hadn't really laughed at in the text, and staying in my car to listen to "just a few more minutes." I thoroughly recommend this.

Uma obra genial com romances e contos do detetive mais brilhante da literatura. Eu li todas as histórias como se tivesse no papel do seu parceiro John Watson, sempre impressionado com o raciocínio e lógica de Sherlock Holmes e com sua facilidade de desvendar os mais peculiares crimes.
