Around film
- Although having recorded the music for the original soundtrack, Janine Reiss interpreted all the accompaniments of récitatifs to the harpsichord on the plate, i.e. most of the time in outsides, in spite of the very wet conditions sometimes (in particular the récitatif one in the marsh) which deteriorated the instrument.
