La Chanson de Roland is one of the most important works of French literature. Lucie de Vienne Blanc was "so impressed by [its] dramatic and incredible human content" that she recorded it, hoping, in effect to revive this masterpiece with "its popular and at times rural atmosphere" that will remind listeners of the Middle Ages. Several manuscript versions of La Chanson de Roland exist, attesting to its enormous and enduring popularity in the 12th to 14th centuries. The French version presented here is in original 12th-century French language. This epic was transmitted orally until a scribe put it into writing, assembling, juxtaposing, and mixing legend with historical facts. With this record,La Chanson de Roland can again be enjoyed in its original form.
French (France)
La chanson de Roland est un des plus importants monuments de la littérature française. Lucie de Vienne Blanc a été tellement impressionnée par le dramatique et incroyable contenu humain de la saga qu’elle a tout mis en oeuvre pour enregistrer cet exceptionnel exemple de la chanson de geste. Elle souhaitait en effet redonner naissance à ce chef d’oeuvre à l’atmosphère populaire et rustique à la fois, qui évoque les fantasmes du Moyen-âge.Il existe plusieurs versions de la Chanson de Roland, attestant de son énorme succès tout au long du 12eme et du 14eme siècle. La version ici présentée a été enregistrée en français original du 12ème siècle. Il semble presque certain que l’épopée ait d’abord été racontée oralement avant qu’un scribe ne la transcrive, en assemblant, juxtaposant et mêlant légendes et faits historiques. Avec ce CD, la chanson de Roland peut à nouveau être appréciée dans son format originel.
