The Mystery of Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe

‘Tous les matins du monde’: beyond Pascal Quignard’s novel and Alain Corneau’s 1991 hit film, who knows of Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, a master of the viola da gamba from the second half of the 17th century and a contemporary of Lully? On their new CD, Florence Bolton and Benjamin Perrot, of the French ensemble La Rêveuse, together with musicologist Matteo di Capua, attempt to unravel the mystery.
