I found this excellent recording of the Romanian version of The Little Prince, Micul Print, on Youtube.

The problem is that none of the translations I could find match the recording! The channel owner posted a link back in 2008, but it's no longer valid. I wrote to him/her, but I thought I'd also ask here in case someone would happen to have it.

I am using these recordings now as my main source of audio input. The translation by
Catalin Dinu is VERY close (not exact but very close). Of course, I too, would like
the transcript being read by Florian Pittis, but the one I have works fine.

I listen to the audio in Arekkusu's link, and when I get stuck, reading the Dinu
translation gets me unstuck (very easily).

I THINK the audio is the Igor Cretu translation, but I have not been able to find that
online.

If anyone wants the Dinu translation, it can be found at this
link

Recently I have been using The Little Prince and the Moldovan Who wants to be a
millionaire (with Dan Negru, available on Youtube) for listening and The Little Prince
for reading, DLI for "slow, steady, and deep", and Nivelul Prag for conversational.

The translation you suggest is the one I'm using, but it's different enough that reading the original French
while listening is proving even easier than following the Romanian...

The recording is not the Igor Cretu translation - see a very blurry shot of the first page. If you squint hard enough, it's easy to tell that it doesn't correspond with the audio.

Edit: I suspect (but haven't confirmed) that the text will be that of Ileana Cantuniari. She's credited as a coauthor of the audiobook on some resources, and perhaps more pertinently, is the translator of the translation of the little prince from the same publisher. See the publisher's information.

And for the fun of it, here are some radio plays in Romanian.

Edit 2: I've confirmed that it is her translation. See a two-page excerpt. It corresponds to the audio starting at about 220 seconds into the second youtube clip.

For a second there, Volte, you were my hero -- except that I found this
Lectura-Florian-Pittis-FLAC">excerpt from her translation and it doesn't match....

The scribd document is a sloppy version of Benedict Corlaciu's translation, despite how it's labeled.
