I agree with--was it Andrew?--about the incompetence of the actor playing St. Colombe in "Tous les matins du monde" and his abysmal incompetence in faking the playing of the viol, and the matching incompetence of the director in allowing it to be displayed so blatantly.
Actually, that didn't bother me at all. I was annoyed by the hokey plot, which had nothing to do with music, or how composers work, and that strongly implied that the Sieur de St.-Colombe, because he was (fictionally) morally superior to Marais, was also musically superior--which is hogwash both as an equation and in historical fact.
