Whether or not you saw the film Tous les matins du monde, you owe it to yourself to either discover or revisit its soundtrack, which features the music of two great figures of 17th-century France: Saint Colombe and his pupil Marin Marais. Saint Colombe, about whom little is known, was a great viol player who was acclaimed for his improvisations. Marais became a member of the famed court orchestra under Lully (some of whose music also appears on the disc) at a very young age. One of the joys of this recording is the sound of the bass viol, an instrument rarely played by itself, especially in such a virtuoso manner. Jordi Savall is the undisputed modern master of the instrument, and he shows us why on this program. As an added bonus, two outstanding vocal pieces are sung with endearing purity, flawless technique, and impeccable intonation by two perfectly matched sopranos. --David Vernier

 Quality doesn't automatically equal enjoyable July 18, 2007

I bought this CD based on the many glowing reviews at Amazon of Savall's mastery of the uncommon viola de gambola.
I agree with the reviews; the viola de gambola is much pleasanter to hear than a screeching violin, and Savall is very skilled at the instrument and its arrangement.
But this album, after several listens, ultimately is somber in tone and repetitively simple in composition compared to other albums of similar period or even subgenre which I've purchased.
The final cut, although still somber, is the redeeming reason to have this album, as its use of counterpoint is much more interesting than the thin orchestration of the other cuts, and notably more pleasant a version than those arrangements I've heard which rely on violin.
A Masterpiece of Music and Performance! December 30, 2001

Easily the best recorded version of a personal favorite: Marin Marais' fabulous "Sonnerie de Ste Genvieve..." The imagery of the relentlessly ringing bells is so vivid that you imagine yourself directly under the bell tower! The entire album is spiritual and rewarding in all aspects - performed with virtuosic furor blending into the most serene of moments in the most seamless manner. I did not see the motion picture, but I truly wish I had. What joy this music brings!
Obra maestra August 9, 2001

Este CD y la pelicula cambiaron mi vida. Es una obra maestra, el clima generado por el director y la viola de Jordi Savall hacen una fiesta para el oido de todo el que escuche. Es un CD que no hay que dejar de oir ni una pelicula para dejar de ver.
From garden hut to royal palace January 23, 2001

Once there was a website titled: "Jordi Savall is God!". The site has disappeared, but it's hard not to have sympathy with that viewpoint. Introduced to Savall through this CD, it made me an immediate fan. A strained budget fails to cease the slow but steady accumulation of his music. Still, it is this CD which is brought off the shelf most often, to be enjoyed without reservation.There has been more than a little grizzling among viola da gamba buffs over Jordi's role in arranging the music for this film. Most of it seems to be pure envy at Savall's scholarship and performing abilities. If nothing else, owning this CD will lead you to a world of beautiful music. That world might even prompt you to listen to others performing the same pieces, each presenting it in their own way. For those who know the story, the film and the music pivot around the life of Monsieur de Sainte Colombe. A figure of historical mystery, still unidentified, what is known of his life comes from a journal kept by Marais. Grieving for his lost wife, he retired to a hut at the bottom of his garden. Rumour had it he was visited by his wife's ghost, who critiqued his compositions. Sainte Colombe added a new string to the viola, drastically changing the character of the instrument, extending its range and depth. Sainte Colombe was a master composer for the instrument. And Jordi Savall unmatched in his performance of the music. Savall, of course, has virtually resurrected Monsieur Sainte Colombe's music from the obscurity of the specialist's interest. Now, his melodious renditions are to be found in any classical store shelf. Savall's interpretations, however, remain the pinnacle all other performers aspire to match. This CD has set a standard for 17th Century music renditions. If you are the least interested in the period, the music and/or the range of qualities Sainte Colombe introduced when he added that seventh string to the instrument, this CD is a mandatory beginning. Just be aware that while Jordi Savall may not be [g]od, his music is divine. It will take you to a blissful paradise of sound that you can enjoy again and again. You will never regret buying this disk.
