Frank Martin Le Vin herbé

Le Vin herbé by Frank Martin is a fascinating work that immerses the listener in the legendary world of the medieval story of Tristan and Iseult, ‘this beautiful tale of love and death’. Tristan, tasked with escorting Iseult, the future wife of his uncle, King Mark, to Cornwall, falls irreparably in love with the Irish princess after drinking an herbal wine meant to bless this arranged marriage. Their love, born from a fatal misunderstanding, leads them into inevitable betrayal of the crown.
