I'd give a lot to hear Mr. Savall. I've got a number of his recordings with Hesperion XX. He also did the sound track on that movie about Marais (only the French would do a bio pic on an early music composer and with Gerard Depardieu!) with a wonderful version of the sonnerie de ste-geneviève du mont-de-paris. I'll see if I can find a YouTube of that.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Yep. I have the remastered and extended soundtrack to the movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103110/), as well as a few versions of this particular piece. One is especially interesting by Reinhard Goebel and Musika Antiqua Koln. Very Germanic interpretation.
Interesting and kind of 'sleepy' movie, but the music held my interest... not the story (almost more about St Colombe than Marais), but whatever. The music is sublime, and also good introduction to the viola da gamba.
