Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

Yann Tiersen est un compositeur qui aime se faire désirer. Après ce long silence cinématographique qui suivit le succès titanesque du Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, sa douce et poétique musique où les rêves deviennent réalité, le compositeur au style cristallin revient sur une production allemande. Passé la surprise du projet, le film de Wolgang Becker nous replonge directement dans l'univers si touchant et subtil de cet intuitif inclassable qui cultive un art du mystère et de l'évanescence assez fascinant. La mélodie douce-amère au piano qui ouvre l'album ne laisse planer aucun doute sur la nature du langage, de même que l'émergence d'un orchestre lunaire, finement dirigé par Guillaume Bourgone, respire la musique de Yann Tiersen d'un bout à l'autre de la partition. Preuve d'un talent rare et précieux qui se nourrit volontiers aux sources d'un Michael Nyman, avec un peu plus d'envergure encore dans la fragilité fugitive, ou même d'un Erik Satie qu'il évoque volontiers dans le morceau titre, Goodbye Lenin est imprégné dans tous les recoins de son tissage instrumental d'une identité musicale forte qui ne ressemble à aucune autre. Rares sont les compositeurs qui sont aujourd'hui capables de susciter autant d'émotions et de sensations avec si peu d'effets, si peu de volubilité dans l'expression, la musique prenant son temps pour mieux s'épanouir au rythme de ses respirations. Une approche contemplative et libérée de la précipitation du monde moderne somme toute appréciable, une peinture des émotions simples et naturelles qui s'illuminent au milieu de la grisaille et de l'uniformisation. La finesse des mélodies, l'originalité envoûtante de l'instrumentation et la fluidité de l'écriture se chargent de nous transporter sans délai vers une dimension où la pesanteur du quotidien n'a pas de prise, où les contraintes d'une société en mal de vivre s'évanouissent pour revenir à l'essentiel de l'âme humaine. Sans prétention ni démonstration, ce qui rend le geste artistique encore plus beau, encore plus éloquent. Peu de compositeurs sont capables de nous faire rêver, sourire et pleurer avec une telle profondeur dans la simplicité. Amoureux d'Amélie Poulain, la mélancolie rêveuse de Yann Tiersen vous tend les bras, la saveur capiteuse du bonheur éphémère au bout des lèvres. Sa plume marginale et lumineuse fait tout le prix de l'art, tout l'essence de la musique. --Jean-Christophe Arlon

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, whimsical score - in film order, April 8 2004
By James Luckard (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Another great score from Yann Tiersen, and unlike Amelie this is entirely new music composed just for the film. Tiersen sounds even more like Michael Nyman here. Like Nyman, he shows the best that minimalism has to offer film scoring.

The music gently massages each scene, conveying the emotions at the core without bothering to hit every action onscreen like cartoon mickey-mousing. Instead, the music finds something deeper and mines it deftly and beautifully.

Like the other poster, my only problem with the album is that the music is totally out of order. To help any other fans out there, here's the correct film order, matched up exactly to my DVD of the film.

1, 3, 15, 4, 2, 6, 5, 8, 7, 17, 11, 9, 20, 10, 13 (0-1:48), 22, 13 (1:48-end), 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 18, 15, 11, 9, 11

Also, there's a single piece not written for the film, "Comptine d'Un Autre Été: L'Apres Midi," which is track 4 on the Amelie album. I assume most people buying Good bye Lenin will already have Amelie, so sticking it in the mix should be easy. That track goes between tracks 14 and 16, for when the family drive to The Dacha, which is my title for the track.

You'll notice tracks 15, 11 and 9 repeat at the end, those are the end credits. Finally, track 23 is not actually in the film, but I stuck it on the end of my mix CD.

Hope this helps, I know I'd have been really glad to find this info a few weeks ago.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, Sep 27 2004
By R. Vickers (Newmarket, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My order arrived today and I'm just listening to the soundtrack for the first time... it's absolutely gorgeous - just like the film.

I was very excited to hear that there was a new Yann Tiersen disc out on the market - I have previously bought "Tout est Calme", "La Rupture", "L'absente", "C'etait ici" (his double live disc - PHENOMENAL), and of course "Le Fabuleux destin d'Amelie poulain". What a master of music this guy is. To boot I've also seen him perform in Marseilles and Montreal - Yann is worth whatever the ticket price is... great concerts!

To sum up - buy the disc!!! And like the OP said up above, make sure to get the one that's the right length, eh? The one with 23 tracks.

A Yann Superfan,
Ryan.

4.0 out of 5 stars clarification
I just wanted to write to clarify something erroneously stated in the album description. The director of goodbye lenin did not direct Run Lola Run, that was Tom Tykwer.

Yann Tiersen's soundtrack for 'Goodbye Lenin' really fits the film. That's everything I can say: It's the perfect soundtrack for a perfect movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars See the Film!
If you enjoyed the music then you must see the film. The premise for "Goodbye Lenin!" is simple. A woman has a heart attack weeks before the Berlin Wall crumbles. Read more
