No, I don't think you can distinguish accurate accents in Hill's
reading of AtD. The Western accents are about as "accurate" as
those of Nevil and Nigel or Veikko. (lol) I don't mind because I'm
listening for the "spirit" of the thing. Imo, the accuracy in this
department is about as important as the accuracy of the historical
dates.
