Bien que la plupart des gens dénigrent Guillaume Depardieux, ce n'était pas qu'une canaille et un ivrogne.

RIP Guillaume Depardieu QEPD

Hola, alguien sabe como se llama la canción que en esta pelicula, le decian "la sonadora"?

[Electronize]

"La sonadora" ? Creo que esta "La rêveuse" en francés, una musica de Marin Marin.

[loositude]

Repose en paix Guillaume.

[Montyleeny14]

Its not really a cello - its a kind of cello none as a contrabass or something like that.

Very renowned back in those days.

your right it sounds an octive higher than chello

[EstebanMigui]

Jean Pierre Marielle !!!!! J'adore ce mec, c'est le meilleur ! Magnifique ce film !

[AlemdarMustafa]

This cellist guy passed away a few days ago. I am sad...

[LivelyCaroline]

I wonder if my daughter cello teacher would let her hold her bow like that. (!)

[Camilodigiorgi]

She never will!! Cello bows wont work very well like that, but viola da gamba bows are just like that. Their point of strenght is the oposit of that of the cello. They "speak louder" when you push the bow, from right to left and the whole language changes becouse of that.

[dolofonos]

The cello was, nevertheless, bowed underhand--especially by players also of the viol--until the overhand technique gradually took dominance.

[jastus1]

LivelyCaroline: that instrument in the clip is not a cello, but a viola da gamba (or simply: a viol). The viol is a predecessor of the cello and is different in many ways: If you notice carefully it has more chords. The bow is also held differently. What you see here is the right way to hold a viol bow but wrong if you try it on a cello's bow.

[dreuxschwartz]

sounds so cultural. a mixture of italian renaissance and baroque...

[zsapphire]

Brilliant portrail of master musicians.

[lilamagritte]

Espectacular!

[Wallenstein79]

There is a very beautiful song at the beginning of the film, by the two daughters... Maybe you know what it is and could updload it?

[Peteronfire]

Done!

[lalungenuictdestens]

"Une Jeune Fillete"... and it's already uploaded, search it

[tedstr8ker]

[gmihut]

Music exists to say things that words cannot say it...which is whay it is not entierly human

[Peteronfire]

agree...

[HARMONICO101]

Nice quote from the movie.

[alra1975]

Jordi Savall would be perfect here...

[Retrofiel]

Beautiful film. :)

[Victoriangent]

Would it posible for you to put the whole film on? Or at least when the Master's wife visits him as he plays his last piece? Heartbreaking stuff.

My VHS copy has long since expired, and I cannot for the life of me find a DVD version.

[Peteronfire]

i don't think its possible to upload the whole film. I'm not sure what scene are u reffering to :S I'll put more from this movie as soon as possible.

[MoaiMaea]

It is possible though you might get some retarded copyright infringement warnings.

[SleepOfReason]

Oh, thanks, thanks, thanks!

[SleepOfReason]

Could you upload "La Reveuse"? Please!!

[Peteronfire]

Done!

[InsectQueen]

it would help? if you didn't have the tags for these vids mislabeled with things like "cello" or "violin"

Jordi Savall is a VIOLA DA GAMBA player... that is a viol... uhm... thanks for posting it, tho... :)

[Peteronfire]

the tags refers to this kind of music and instrument family. Plus, not every ppl know what viola da gamba is. Tkx for reminding me...

[mercoid]

It's not mislabeling. It is a great way for ppl who don't know about the gamba to discover it. That is one of the wonderful things about sites like this and the internet in general. He already has tags labeled "viol" and "gamba" built in.

[InsectQueen]

I thought about that after posting that comment and kinda did a little Spy Vs Spy laugh... muahaha... they will discover gamba and perhaps love it... muahaha... :P

[joshisaac]

More from this film please!!
