Beautiful
author: christopher desimine
I would like to say first of all that I am very impressed with CDBaby’s products and service. We are fortunate to be able to purchase these hard to find titles at such reasonable prices.
Yet if I had paid upwards of a hundred dollars each for these Amelie-Les-Crayons records it would have been worth every dime. “Et Pourquoi Les Crayons?” (2004) and “La Porte Plume” (2007) offer chansons recorded with crystal clarity. Most of the numbers are quiet affairs with light accompaniment, although there are a few with a circus feel. There are too many beautiful moments among the language and musicianship to outline but if I were to pick a favorite tonight I would offer “Le Citronnier”. I believe the song is about the cycle of life and the wish to see a lost loved one again. And the flute just takes my breath away.

Magnifique!

It sure seems that Amelie, Laurent, Heiko, and Michel had as much fun singing the songs as I have listening to them. The more "excited" songs bring a smile to my face every time I hear them and some of them and the more quiet are just so nice to listen to. Don't forget la piste cachee. I think it has the answer to THE question. I thought my French was good, but I can't understand what Amelie says so I'm not sure.

Fantastic CD!

I heard one of her songs on Putumayo Paris and was so intrigued by her voice and the music I had to get her entire album. Exquisite! I listen to this cd everyday. I hope she comes to the States one day so I can hear her live.
