Comments:
Information from CD.

Pierre-F, Roberge

The recording presents 11 of the 17 lais from the Vienna manuscript, the principal Tristan manuscript of the period to come with musical notation. Some lais omit some verses for the performance, and even in the Vienna manuscript, much of the story omits music.
