Hello There
The Dualists is a great movie, and I suspect that the director Ridley Scott
is a hurdy-gurdy fan as he apparently had Nigel Eaton playing gurdy on the
soundtrack of the first Alien Film.
A couple of years ago I heard there was a likelyhood that Nigel would also
play on the soundtrack of a Ridley Scott directed medieval epic, maybe this was
Kingdom of Heaven which I have not seen.
Back to the Duelists, I don't think it was just a tavern. If you watch the
sequence just before the gurdy is featured you will see a pair off buttocks
going up and down in the shadows. I don't think the person these buttocks
belonged to was supping ale at the time.
Changing the subject somewhat, I have some tracks up at

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).
