Additional Amelie: Original Soundtrack Recording Information
|
This sunny comic fable from idiosyncratic director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (City of Lost Children, Alien Resurrection, Delicatessen) boasts any number of intimate charms, not the least of which is Yann Tiersen's warmly inviting score. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Tiersen's work and training may have masterfully encompassed classical, pop, and rock, but his delightful Amélie music proves he is slave to none. In this, his fourth soundtrack, Tiersen displays an impressive command of idiom and melodic subtlety that's rightfully drawn comparisons to the great Nino Rota. With a Paris-set story driven by blossoming love, the composer frequently leans on the familiar Parisian street accordion motif as a starting point. If that sounds clichéd, it's anything but; Tiersen's delicate touch incorporates Gypsy flourishes, classical string ensembles, electronics, stark and lovely solo piano, and even minimalist technique--often in the same charming cue. The result is music that manages to sound variously breezy, fresh, and contemporary, yet somehow comfortably familiar. Amélie is a warm, postmodernist score that never forgets where its heart lies. --Jerry McCulley

What Customers Say About Amelie: Original Soundtrack Recording:

HOWEVER, if you have checked out a few of the songs using Amazon's preview, and if you don't care for the first few either, then PLEASE check out the 4th track (Comptine D'un Autre Été, L'après-Midi) as it is very different, and if you are like me, you will find it incredibly beautiful, peaceful, somewhat mesmerizing -- it's a solo piano work of art. I have not watched the movie, but let me comment on the music. Enjoy (I sure did). If you search the web, you can find a few versions of this and if you play piano, you can find the sheet music for it too. The other reviewers will tell you how wonderful the music is on this soundtrack. I for one, am not crazy about all of it - it's just not a genre that appeals to me.
Until now, it is still the most playing CD on my laptop. I bought the DVD first and enjoy the whole movie, after that, I decided to buy the soundtrack. I had been listened to this soundtrack long time ago before I bought it. I listened to it in my relatives house and I can't forget the melody of it.
a great used product. the product was just as described. the case was a bit cracked but the cd was perfectly new.
i had every song in my head when I went to Paris. The songs are so good.
It's very jolly, tombe d'amour kinda stuff. I love this soundtrack, it's very magical and fantastical in a very French way. I think especially the Valse comes off very parisien of the romantic era where they seem to be perma-stuck in the '50s.
