Support for AudioFile’s Behind the Mic comes from Naxos AudioBooks. The much-loved Bill Homewood brings us The Song of Roland, a magnificent tale of faith, honour, courage and treachery. It is the year 778. The mighty French army confronts Saracen forces in the bloody Battle of Roncevaux Pass. We follow the emperor’s hot-headed nephew Roland into battle. We see both armour and bodies split by the blows of lances and swords, horses fall, and the heroic brotherhood of soldiery tested to its limit. The story builds to a nail-biting climax – when a single trumpeting blast on an elephant’s horn changes the course of history.
