This second part of The Cid finishes the story. Like the first, it was conceived as an exciting mixture of original music, the original Spanish, and the translation by WS Merwin. And like the first, it suffers from a poor sound mix that sometimes leaves all three of those elements at the same volume, making it hard to make out the English. That’s the only reason for downgrading the overall rating. It’s otherwise well done, and it really would be worth someone taking to time to remix it to make sure the English always comes out on top. (I say that on the assumption that making this poem accessible to English speakers was one of the main goals.)

Great idea, but sound problems
