Hello, yesterday evening i saw on German cable-TV "das vierte" a movie named "the duellists" with Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine. The movie is situated in the early years of 19th century (Napoleonic aera) in France and occupied parts of Germany and Russia of course and in one short clip (only approx. 5 seconds) I saw a lady who play on a luteback-HG with black-and-white inlays on the edge, aside of two bagpipe players. The scene play in an -maybe french- ancient tavern (hm, why always taverns?).
Is something known about this movie, the player(s) and the instrument? Maybe this question was still asked before on this list but I don't remember and I didn't search in the archive. Does anybody know if the name of the tune "the duellists" (or the tune itself) of Nigel Eaton/Cliff Stapleton is influenced from the movie? BTW: the new CD "deLirium" (Joseph Haydn concertos and notturnos) with Matthias Loibner, Thierry Nouat (on Lire organizzate), Christophe Coin (on Baryton) and the "Ensemble Baroque de Limoges" is now available at Wolfang Weichselbaumers workshop in Vienna (for example) and certainly in some shops. The label is the french label LABORIE Records (www.ebl-laborie.com). Regards from Vienna Ernst
