Product Description

From Amazon.com

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


Amazon.ca

Alors que le film du singulier Jean-Pierre Jeunet a fait un malheur aux guichets, devenant en quelques semaines à peine une véritable œuvre-culte, la bande sonore, signée Yann Tiersen, n’en finit pas de rendre la vie plus douce à ceux qui se laissent prendre à ses filets de tendre mélancolie. Un petit bijou, on l’a dit et redit, qui, sur fond d’accordéon, de carillon et de valse musette, vous rentre dedans comme la rencontre du grand amour et vous accompagne gentiment du matin au soir et du soir au matin. Composé de quelques-unes des meilleures pièces de l’artiste breton et de huit morceaux inédits, Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain, à la fois joyeusement rétro et étonnamment actuel, est à ranger au rayon de ces classiques indémodables, parce que terriblement vrais. --Pascale Millot

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, Dec 15 2007
By Aeneas - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Very nice cd, that brings many pleasant memories of the film. It captures the spirit of France and "paints" a musical landscape of France with the small villages, cabares, cafes and much much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars So French, So perfect, Jul 19 2004
By Bethan Jeremy (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
'Total Film' called the film "simply perfect" and the soundtrack lives up to this review superbly. It's stereotypically Parisien, tarditional and french, yet with a modern orchestral feel. I'm only a teenager, and I adored it! puts you in the right frame of mind for the film too, although unlike some OSTs you dont have to have seen the film to appreciate the music. It can get a little bit 1930s/40s but theres a good balance throughout! enjoy!

This is a beautiful soundtrack. It goes from piano solo music to accordion music to 50s (maybe?) style French and English music. Very relaxing! Read more
