Francois Bayle - Divine Comedie (Vinyl)

Divine Comedy stands as a magnum opus crafted by two of the foremost composers of their era, boasting a musical ambition akin to Dante's poem and it's visual interpretation by Sandro Botticelli or Gustave Doré. For a long time, this triptych was presented as a two-sided work in which Bernard Parmegiani's Hell and François Bayle's Purgatory responded to and extended each other, guided by Michel Hermon's voice through the listener's imagination. Because Paradise, a mixed piece co-composed and performed live, had never been released on record before. Indeed, fifty years after it's premiere, Paradise is unveiled to our ears, thereby rounding off the very first complete edition of the Divine Comedy.
