Very good and I liked the speaker’s tone. though, i do think some rhymes were meant in this translation that the speaker didnt quite get because they were meant to be spoken in a nonstandard way. But that hardly detracts from the performance.

MANY THANKS TO THE READER, WHO READ THIS CLASSIC EPIC OF ANCIENT FRENCH LITERATURE SO PERFECTLY. This was an excellent audio version of the poem, very beautiful, violent, vivid. I loved it.
good effort

A bit of 'fading in' of the first line of the stanza is a small technical issue. i would have preferred standard french pronunciation of many of the names
tough listen
