Tous les matins du monde (OST)
More Information
Tous les Matins du Monde was the 1991 art-house hit which brought the music of Marin Marais and Saint Colombe and the extraordinary artistry of viola de gamba player Jordi Savall to wide attention. The original bestselling album is now supplanted by this reissue on Savall's own label. Offering a portrait of 17th-century France, the disc gives equal time to Marais, representing the world of the court at Versailles and to Colombe's stark musical austerity.
Several pieces are for solo basse de viole, allowing Savall to fully explore the often sombre colours within the music, while other works are accompanied by violin, theorbo (a double necked lute) and clavichord. Savall also includes three of his own arrangements made for the film, a short ceremonial march by Lully, and Couperin's Troisième Leçon de Ténèbres. Performed with the sopranos Montserrat Figueras and Maria Christina Kiehr, the resplendent beauty of this single-movement, 12-minute work illuminates the often introspective nature of the surrounding music. Extended to 76 minutes, this impeccably produced new version of a landmark soundtrack offers remastered sound and is luxuriously presented in a fold-out digipack with a lavishly illustrated full colour booklet. --Gary S Dalkin
