"Of course the music is very beautiful, but what makes this an especially precious CD is the chance to hear the viola da gamba in the spotlight at great length. Jordi Savall had done us all a great favor by his devotion to the instrument and the works played on it. This is one of my favorite albums in my sizeable collection, and I would guess that, as the soundtrack to the movie, it must have won many admirers over to the music of that period and to the appreciation of the instrument, not to mention admiration of Mr. Savall. If you look at Mr. Savall's website, you will be even more impressed." - Culturally Curious, Amazon .com

"From court pomp to an almost purgatorial melancholy, Tous les Matins du Monde is beautifully performed by expertly-skilled vocalists and instrumentalists. Although I'm not a musician, after only a few plays, and particularly when listening to Le Badinage and Sonnerie de Ste. Genevieve, my heart aches to play the viole, but my soul, like Savall." - Grace, Amazon .com
