Tondal's Vision
T0447279949
'For how long a time was I dead?'
Tondal's Vision was one of the most popular visionary stories of the 12th century. In this mysterious text, a medieval knight named Tondal falls asleep at a banquet. He has a dream where his spirit visits hell, and through the darkness, is guided back to his body by the voice of an unknown angel. This journey to the other side of death, which seems endless to Tondal, lasts for only the blink of an eye. In this version vocal ensemble Dialogos presents the vision in a new context with medieval polyphony producing a pure and expressive rendition of this ancient story.
