Christopher Oxford
The Antichrist and Ecce Homo were two of the last works written by Friedrich Nietzsche just before his mental collapse in 1889. Though both written in 1888, they are very different in content and style.
In The Antichrist, Nietzsche expands on his view that the submissive nature of Christianity undermined Western society, depressing and sapping energy. Using a challenging, aphoristic style, he considers 'good' and 'bad', Buddhism and Christianity, and criticises the concepts of sin, faith, and pity as proposed in the Christian tradition, declaring that they undermined a zest for life.
Ecce Homo is effectively Nietzsche's autobiography. Writing in his idiosyncratic, urgent manner, he focuses on carefully chosen topics as he reviews his life and work. Among the chapter headings are: 'Why I Am so Wise' and 'Why I Am so Clever'. But like so much of Nietzsche, the effect is not quite as bombastic as might be expected - it is a fascinating document.

Moving along. The narration of Ecce Homo, no easy task, was good and had an interesting style that made me laugh. The work itself imparts wisdom, almost like indirect advice. There's nothing else like it.
The narration of The Antichrist was acceptable. I won't seek out another version because this one was clear and didn't bother me.

As if my predilection for The Antichrist (or perhaps a more honest translation would be, The Antichristian) wasn't enough to incite from me abundant praise and delight, the vocal performance left a deep impression upon me. Christopher Oxford, in my ignorant opinion, really nails my ideal voice for a 19th century German philosopher. I was worried the voice would fall far behind the ideas and leave a shadow upon the piece in the process, but instead I was pleasantly surprised to see the intellectual and vocal elements working together in blissful Harmony, elevating each other's performance in the process. This is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to, and---though I may be bias---I wouldn't listen to Nietzsche's The Antichrist under any vocal performance. I recommend this to all Nietzsche fans that yearn for a pocket Nietzsche to take on a drive or wait in line to.
I hope Christopher Oxford has voiced some of Nietzsche's other works, because he has the voice of an Ubermensch.

Conveys Nietzsche quite ‘accurately’ - as vivid as can be, not compromising- Nietzsche wouldn’t have appreciated that
