Marin Marais: Le Labyrinthe (the Labyrinth); Cassandra Luckhardt, viola da gamba

[@quatorzelouis3702]

J'adore les musiques de Marin Marais, et le film de son histoire "Tous les Matins du Monde".

[@liegesaboya8265]

Vi esse filme muitas vezes . Bonito demais ! O enredo , fotografia , vestuário , a música : que coisa esplêndida . Tous les Matins de Monde me conduziu a Marin Marais e à viola da gamba .

[@luclafleur73]

Tous les matins du monde est , à mon avis, l'un des meilleurs films. Un vrai chef d'œuvre. "Tous les matins du monde sont sans retour."

[@richardstevens4230]

The viola de gamba blows cellos and basses out of the water. How else can one say it? The tone and range is remarkable. How did the four string versions take over? Simplicity, perhaps was the reason. Amazing instruments and music that should not be forgotten, ever. Thanks for playing these spectacular beauties

[@AnHebrewChild]

Richard Stevens they're just different. There are strengths and weaknesses to each. Coke, Pepsi --- I'll take one or the other depending upon the occasion. (Mexican or pizza with Pepsi) (Italian or popcorn & movie with coke) Dear God, why does the human brain have to think always so either-or / binary? Did you make us this way, or is it an artifact of the computer world we live in?

[@nainposteur55]

...Instrument with more that 4 string require frets, and frets make impossible several cool effects that's why cello is better for a lot of peaces But of course especially in baroque peaces wich have been written for violla de gamba, it's far better than cello, I agree :)

[@chartophylacium5250]

@@nainposteur55 You are right. But I do prefer the sound of frets. The sound is just so much clearer. It also makes playing the low notes a lot easier as you do not have to stretch so much.

[@aronasmundurjonasson3175]

Another reason why cellos took over, it’s because violas da gamba’s sound isn’t able to carry itself as much as the cellos’

[@mobtek]

@@aronasmundurjonasson3175 yes when performing went from rooms to larger halls.

[@etruscie]

I do not know much about the technical aspects of music, but this piece spoke to my soul. It began with an almost existential yet noble search for a harmonious fulfillment which is achieved at the end. Congratulations to the performers of this great piece of music.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO Une interprétation MAGISTRALE qui me bouleverse profondément et me permet de me sentir FRANCAIS et UNIVERSEL MAGNIFIQUE SUPERBE TRANSCENDANT Nous assistons à l'apothéose du GENIE FRANCAIS à l'époque où le BEAU, LE BIEN et le BON étaient des valeurs de référence Un GRAND MERCI pour ce moment de BONHEUR et de LUMIERE à vous et à Marin MARAIS !

[@HaritheRenaissanceMan]

World class all around - the music, the performers, instruments, acoustics and the sound tech that captured the nuances of this oh-so-subtle music in all of its elegance. And as many others mentioned before, the physicality of the performers is wonderful to witness visually as well as listen to. Thank you!

Marin Marais entre os compositores franceses do período barroco, é o meu favorito. As peças Le Badinage e Lá Reveuse são jóias sonoras.

[@samuelsiqueira3831]

E a alcyone meu Deus é incrível

[@kavindutv]

So elegantly played, a flawlessly flowing soloist beautifully connected with the continuo players. A delight. Thank you.

[@jwoodman]

I missed this when it was first put up - so glad I finally watched. Absolutely sensational sound: a wonderful contrast between the precision of the music and the physicality of the playing and the sound of the viols. Visceral is the word that comes to mind - still shaking. One of your finest.

[@VoicesofMusic]

+John Woodman Thanks, John--this was a fun mini-project :)

[@bertcarter6176]

This is beyond beautiful! No one did it like Marais. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful performance here.

[@angelomalcontenti1614]

Bellissimo! Un'interpretazione fantastica. Complimenti a M.me Luckhardt e alle altre del Trio

[@HelenaWilliams8696]

Joyful musical viola da gamba & harpsichord instruments. The melody does present a seek-and-hide game. Complex composition with the different key tunes, but, that is where the magic is in this classic. Very beautiful harpsichord furniture.

[@manitasdeplata01]

I have not heard this marvelous piece in about 25 years. This performance keeps this masterpiece in all its brilliance by these incredible gifted musicians.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you.

[@manitasdeplata01]

Many decades ago, I was enchanted with the silvery sound of the viola de gamba and expose to the music of Marin Marais in the french film "Tous le matins du monde" (in particular the Sonnerie de Ste. Geneviève du Mont-de-Paris). It is such a joy to still enjoy the sound of this beautiful instrument. Thanks for sharing these videos!

[@Marcus_Sylvester]

Beautiful! And on top of it, we hear the harpsichord! 👍 Great piece of Marin Marais by great musicians! 💖

[@marthabishop2305]

P.S. Cassandra, the extreme difficulty of this piece and your apparent ease in playing it is not lost on me! Also kudos to your continuo players.

[@cluckily]

Thank you so much, Martha! It's all because of you that I'm doing this!

Thank you so much for your information on this piece & on labyrinths. Though I was familiar with the labyrinth in European visual art, I wasn't aware of its use in music till now. This is a fascinating work, beautifully performed (as always), one which I'll listen to many times. Thank you!

[@josephanthony8585]

i very strongly recommend the movie "All the Mornings of the World" ("Tous les Matins du Monde") in which Marin Marais is centrally featured.

[@katschs3965]

Second the recommendation, with the caveat that the actors involved are NOT musicians and do not come close to duplicating how the instrument is played. Just close your eyes during those parts and listen... the sound track is the real thing.

This is a fascinating reinterpretation of Marais - much gentler and more subtle than the Savall version which has been the standard for decades.
