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.

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. :>

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.

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

[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.
