Angèle Dubeau & La Pietà - Les Beautés Du Diable

Angèle Dubeau & La Pietà's music video for "Les Beautés du diable" from their 2003 album Infernal Violins. Available on the bonus DVD that comes with the reissue of the album. As of Oct 2007, they have released a brand new album which also features this song... see details below.

Angele is co-founder and first violinist in this all-female ensemble. I have been fortunate enough to see them live twice. They play with an intensity, precision and passion that I have rarely seen nor heard elsewhere. Their arrangements (mostly done by pianist/arranger Louise-Andre Baril) are also of particular interest for many of the more popular pieces they perform.

This particular piece, composed by François Dompierre, was written for La Pietà.

Although critically praised, I believe they may be the most under-appreciated gem in today's classical music industry. And having met Angele and some of the current performers, they are very gracious and kind as well!

I bought the Infernal Violins CD as well, love them, they are amazing!

[JeffD8382]

Awesome! Glad you're enjoying them... if you ever do get the chance to see them live, be sure and go! ;) Periodically, they do tour the US as well.

Thanks again for your interest in this project. I've looked up Francois Dompierre in the past and again last evening.

Just don't seem to find a contact e-mail address for him.

I'll try thru Angele Dubeau's web-site and see if I luck out in trying to get the music. Like you say it just may not be available for public use (so sad).

[JeffD8382]

Oh you're very welcome.. I wish I could be of more help, but I haven't been able to uncover anything either. Best of luck though... let me know if you do hear anything back! =)

[Strings4Joy]

Wow, thanks for answering!

I purchased "Infernal Violins" CD.  I play the violin and would love to be able to purchase the actual "written on paper" music so that I might be able to perform it sometime with other musician friends. I'll give the website

a try. I did try to make contact sometime ago, but didn't seem get any response.

Thank you again for your reply.

[JeffD8382]

Oh ok! Not sure if it has been published for public use... this song is composed by François Dompierre if that helps you on your search. I'll also do a little searching online and see if I find anything...

Is it me or when it came time for the violist to play at 0:49, the camera ignored her still and focused on all the violins and cellos anyway, despite all of them only playing back up pizzicato? :| Poor violas never get enough love...

[thekuyo]

I can't wait to see them at the "Festival Internacional Cervantino" of this year... Mexico's waiting fou you!!

@Strings4Joy just so u know her website is in french:')

[spectreblofeld]

I heard this on Halloween day while driving home from work in the evening, on my local NPR affiliate radio station. I spontaneously burst into tears. When the song was over, the announcer said the name of the piece and composer, and it took every ounce of my half-remembered high school French class to remember it and look it up when I got home. Bought Infernal Violins immediately. This piece will still make me cry for no goddamned reason. When it doesn't I still get chills.

[cilversky99]

Gorgeous!!

@Strings4Joy

I know that this is a bit late but the music sheets are available i don't really know how because my music teacher got a hold of them but we didn't have the time to play it this year.
