La flûte et le théorbe

The recorder and the theorbo: one listens religiously. The floor shot was actually taken in the upper vestibule of the royal chapel.

La flûte et le théorbe : on écoute religieusement. La seconde photo a été prise dans le vestibule haut de la chapelle royale.

    Cool! Though the top photo doesn't do justice to the outlandish size of the theorbo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCRAY8WFDRo

    Well, I *had* to google the theorbo to hear what it sounds like - no wonder one listens religiously! Beautiful shot of a beautiful instrument.

    Un luth à long manche?
    Et un sol que j'aimerais bien copier chez nous...

    Thanks for the link Whit. You're right but the photos I took while he was playing were a bit blurred...

    I love that they have period clothing. Is the theorboer standing on a pedestal?

    The théorbe reminds me of Vermeer!

    You were able to get some very nice shots of this event and the people and their costumes. I've never heard of the theorbo before. I've known some theologians but there music was usually off-key! :))

    I've heard that instrument played once. Very peculiar sound to the contemporary ear.

    Beautifully shot!
