It forms a best-of image of some of the more serious music of France's Louis XIV's court. The film dramatises the loves, tragedies, jealousies and careers of Sainte-Colombe and Marin Marais, who were both virtuoso viol players.
The music tracks this gloomy tale by showcasing this wonderful five-string cello. Capable of more mournful sounds than any other stringed instrument, the selection of themes would make excellent background music to a funeral parlour or a very intimate, gentle evening of fire-side wine enjoyment.
This is the entry album for the uninitiated to this nearly forgotten instrument and its soul quietening music.
The instrumental pieces are interspersed with young, innocent voices singing a traditional french ballad adding pathos to the CD. Coupled with the wonderful soprano solo, this evocative album is guaranteed to haunt you. If you chose nothing else, chose this.Experience the joy and pain of pure sound in the music of Tous les Matins du monde. Do not be ashamed to cry - I wasn't.
