Le Vin herbé

Secular oratorio by Frank Martin

Frank Martin felt his »Le Vin herbé« to be his personal key work in which he had found his own language. Based on the novel »Tristan et Iseut« by Joseph Bédier he created his chamber-music-like secular oratorio as a drama on the two lovers Tristan and Isolde.
