Le Pont des Arts

[orangemood37915]

I cannot stop listening to this... so desperately beautiful...

[vincelbkn]

Magnifico!

[mouthmouse]

something I don't like here and that we find in many baroque concerts is the way to conduct the string like 0:02 or 1:54

[yamhatichon]

I found very few people who referred to this, but i'm pretty sure the conductor in the film is constructed as a parody of William Christie, the americn-french baroque revivalist known for treating singers pretty badly. and i think the film also mocks his homosexuality. great film all in all, very unusual, even in french arthouse standards.

TRA I CANTANTI ROBERTO CAPOVILLA

[mouthmouse]

who recorded the bass part?

[tritonusgesang]

Beeindruckend schön!

[def0509]

le lamento de la nymphe de monteverdi un condancé des differents stile representativo et de la basse continue et obstinée et des techniques vocale, mise en volupté des dissonances : magnifique, et l'interpretation magnificiante. Une veritable perle dans tout les sens du therme (compositeur et les interpretes). BRAVO

[ALEXISVASSILIEV]

alors ça... Trop émouvant! Merci tanto! Trop beau...!!! AV

[and89anto]

C. Lefilliâtre has also a wonderful pronunciation...Sometimes you forgot she's French

[joshisaac]

Nice to listen to, but embarrassing to watch. And the conductor is awful.

[spcfsu1]

It's probably because it's not a conductor but an actor, named Denis Podalydès. ;)

[ardentepatience]

and the singer too, actress

[sonaimago]

It's from a movie, where the conductor is an awful tyrannical musician. That's why, that's all, if you didn't know that it was hard to understand. That movie is a masterpiece anyway.

[yourengland]

this is the best interpretation i've heard yet - in all the other recordings i've heard the sop. sounds like she's about to burst into tears. here, she sounds like a strong woman, which somehow makes the lament even more tragic.

[sciure]

I agree. I have been searching other versions and I was always deceived.  This one is the best I find. The one from Cantus Cölln & Konrad Junghänel is not bad, I find it sonorous.

[harvinsky]

Quoi? Qu'est-ce que vous avez dit???

[ehwhat0]

what's with all the awkward gay people standing around pretending to make really pretty music? well, okay, maybe I concede only 3/4 of them are gay.

[superbritva]

WHERE CAN I FIND THE WHOLE MOVIE? PLEASE, HELP ME !

I have seen it five years ago and still cannot forget its beauty. I have never never never seen and heard anything more touching.

I have never loved more than while watching "Le Pont des Arts".

Someone must have it! Please, help me. Please.

[musiko4488]

The voice of Claire Lefilliâtre and the face of Natacha Régnier is a perfect combination. This definitely the best version of Lamento Della Ninfa, I have ever heard.

It's sad, that were is no compilation on CD available (only the movie on DVD).

[NedRorem]

It's quite annoying to see people in playback, especially when the camera is so close. And the actor that plays the viola da gamba has really no idea on how to mimic the playing of a viola da gamba.

But this reading by Claire Lefilliâtre (soprano) and Dumestre is really touching, in its simplicity.

[YannCarpentier]

merci d avoir mis en ligne cette scene. film OVNI personnel et touchant, mais que devient le realisateur?

[harvinsky]

Ne mai sí dolci baci

da quella bocca havrai,

ne più soavi, ah taci,

taci, che troppo il sai.

[bLINKnoT333]

hi, where are you from?, i was searching this movie but i cant find it, can you help me?

[jaekose]

I can't find a better version, yet I can't find where to buy it. The clarity of pronunciation and tone on the solista's part is unbeatable. The video itself is highly entertaining as well.

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

I like this version by Dumestre. There's less, almost no vibrato on the solista's part. The present CD i have has too much vibrato for my taste...yet bearable. :>

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

i've seen this on TV5 Asie... a good film. :>

[opium25]

Are you sure she aint singing she looks pretty convincing to me.

[frolll]

maybe she is singing... but the voice you can hear belongs to Claire Lefilliâtre from Le Poeme Harmonique anyway ^^'

[fredrikhildebrand]

For the record, the singers and musicians actually performing the music that the actors are miming to is the amazing French group La Poème Harmonique. One of the absolutely best (vocal) baroque ensembles today, led by the lute player Vincent Dumestre.

[fatbaldcunt]

what a gullible Englishman I am thinking, oh my God,even when the French record a rehearsal it looks like a French Film. I've just read the comments properly and fuck me it is a French film.

[Gealach74]

its really beautiful,the song it self from the excellent composer C.Monteverdi is such a "magic" piece of music!!

can anyone tell me the title of the movie? i am curious to watch it now!

thanks

[Eefjemax]

Does someone now if this version can be bought on cd? I saw the movie and love the music.

[sealknebrot]

Awesome!

[MB2207]

You have to see the film, you'll love this scene even more..!

[anonimoalfin]

Awesome video, splendid! Thanks for posting it, 5 stars, and to my favorites. WHO'S THE LUTENIST?!!!

[615am]

una escena muy bella

[LutenistDeMari]

That is the most subtle conducting I've ever seen! Don't move your hands too much, you wouldn't want the singers to know what beat your up to! Keep on keeping them guessing!

[anonimoalfin]

jajajajaja

[LutenistDeMari]

Whats going on!!!? why are they all giving eachother wierd looks? concentrate!

[musictoujoursmusic]

Amor ch'a nullo amato amar perdona

[TsarMihail]

No, she broke his.

[RebirthX]

Lolz! It's beautiful if I just listen.

But... this is weird and funny to watch... lolz!

So I assume that guy in red is the unfaithful traitor that broke her heart?

Lolz!

[TsarMihail]

This should have been sent with the "Voyager". We are the human race.

[illiad20007]

Have yet to see the film but this clip is wonderful

[PadreAcaJoca]

Sublime and divine!!!!!!!!

[ivelane64]

"Le pont des Arts". Un beau film. Merci Eugène Green.

[inutilpaisaje]

yo tambien puedo durar un segundo mas q una burbuja...

un segundo de diciembre

[eccoh22]

i think this is a great tempo for this piece. i find many recording to be too slow. i love the conductor and his puppy paw conducting style.

[gropsch]

You should really watch the whole movie. Indeed, the actors play in accordance with director artistic intentions. It is just a matter of style. And Greens'one is remarquably consistent.

[Sean2046]

did you not read what i said? i saw the whole thing.

[gropsch]

Sorry! My answer applied to "animecrazy37" (below).

[Sean2046]

saw the whole film and sadly, as great as this 5 minute segment is, every second that comes before and after it is #####.

[animecrazy37]

This is a beautiful piece, but the people in the video make me laugh with melodramatics, the only good "acting" is seen in the "soprano."

Haha.

Beautiful piece though, gorgeous.

[gropsch]

Hello. You should really watch the whole movie. Indeed, the actors play in accordance with director artistic intentions. It is just a matter of style. And Greens'one is remarquably consistent.

[sciure]

what they're not funny!?... you have odd reasons to laugh.

[gropsch]

Sublime madrigal au coeur de l'hommage que rend au Baroque ce film magnifique.

[Sean2046]

beautiful

[jedwentz]

oh brother....what a bore...

[jtmedia84]

sublime...truly.

[Puolikuollut]

Cóż..utwór niewątpliwie genialny, lecz ekipa mogła włożyć więcej wysiłku i nauczyć dyrygenta lepszych ruchów a aktorkę chociaż oddychac przeponą bo śmieszne jest to,że ktoś z takim głosem klasycznym śpiewałby bez podparcia i tylko biorąc powietrze w płuca:/

[zsigmk]

a charming clip from a charming film.

[lupikon]

I love this version. For me it's the best. Eventually a little bit slower.

[sciure]

C'est le plus beau film du monde.

[militarCC]

che dire: BARVO!!!!!

mi chiedo perchè in italia si sottovaluti in modo indegno l'arte in generale e la musica antica in particolare.

mi vergogno per questo.

ancora bravi

max - milan

[BReisnerS]

it's an extract from a movie

[boblob2003]

This is HILARIOUS!!!

At the end, someone should have said "(sniff) so... who wants spongecake and coffee?"

[ManolitoMystiq]

It feels too fast to me. The female is hot, though.

What is that guy with the red shirt doing at all, (along with the redhead on the couch)?

[frolll]

"that guy" is Jeremie Renier. "the female" is Natacha Régnier. Both belgian actors.

[psychodinde]

merci de m'avoir remémoré une des plus belles séquences de ce film bouleversant.(aahhh!!!!Monteve­rdi!!!...)

[scruffycritter]

Um... what is that "conductor" doing?
