[LUTE] Re: A rather old lute cameo
Here's the full IMDB entry - Unfortunately nothing much about the music or musicians there: [1]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0611663/fullcredits?ref_=ttfc_ql_1 It's strange how musicians are seldom if ever credited in these things. Music also seems to be the poor cousin when it comes to historical accuracy in some programmes. I have been watching some episodes of the new series The Musketeers - the dialogue is dreadful, but the sets, costumes and weapons seem to be spot-on for around 1630. Huge care has gone into what Richelieu wears and Louis XIII and Anne of Austria bear more than a passing resemblance to the people they represent. THEN in episode 3, Athos is in the boudoir of Milady de Winter and guess what? There's a 'lute' on the table. Except it's a modern mandolin with machine heads for goodness sake! Would they have substituted a flintlock pistol for a wheel lock one? Of course not. But if it's a musical instrument - What the hell, nodbody'll notice. OK I'm a nerd, but . . .

And related: Why do filmmakers almost never, make actors learn how to mimic the playing correctly? The most blatant recent example is A late quartet (2012), which is irritating in the extreme for a musician to watch! When will Hollywood acknowledge, that a huge part of viewers are actually able to play an instrument? Ridiculous!

Then there's the film Nostradamus (1994) with an excellent soundtrack, with the New London Consort playing Susato dances in some bits. A scene in there, about midway through, has a country theatre in France in the 16th C with a modern metal Boehm flute right in front of the band.
