CD Reviews

Pure Genius

Sander Kessels | amsterdam, nh Netherlands | 11/18/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I liked the Amelie soundtrack, but after I saw a tremendous life performance of Yann Thiersen in Amsterdam, I ran to the recordstore to buy this record. Yann Thiersen is without doubt a musical genius, he played piano, the alt-violin and the accordeon as if these instruments were a part of his body. In one part, he even played piano with one hand and accordeon with the other. Besides, he played some gitar and prooved to be a good singer as well. In other words, I've never seen so many talents united in one person. The track on l'Absente that really stand out of the rest is Qu'en reste-t-il, a solo performance with the alt-violin that litterally will blow you away. The cd only has two english spoken songs on it, which are not bad, but compared to the rest of this cd a bit awkward. If you like Amelie, you'll like this album. If you happen to be able to see a life performance of this man, go see it. In my case, this concert was one of the best I've seen in many years..."

If you like the Amelie soundtrack you will like this!

"I am surprised to see this album get such low reviews by people who liked the Amelie soundtrack. After all, many of the songs on the soundtrack were taken from Yann Tiersen's other albums, including this one. Not French enough is a rather strange complaint that I can't really address. But if you are looking for beautiful, quirky and unique music, all of Tiersen's CD's are wonderful, but this is one of my favorites."

"I want to run out and scour the flea markets for a toy piano. There is a nostalgia here that is elusive and compelling. Perhaps it's the sense of childhood. Violins, windup machines, accordians, toy pianos, and unearthly delights are all here."
