Details: Product Description Beautifully Diverse, Mostly Instrumental Album from the French Multi-instrumentalist Relying on a Distinctly French Celtique Base. Amazon.ca At Yann Tiersen, large and small instruments, string or wind, have pride of place. The composer from Brest does not venture into convoluted and scholarly constructions but rather into this musicality that is both light and fragile ("La Rupture"). His third album, Le Phare exhales the scents of sea spray from elsewhere. With notes that encourage you to travel ("L'Arrivée sur l'île", "Le Fromveur"), towards these island moors where authenticity rhymes with sobriety. Exiled on the island of Ouessant, the artist composed most of these staged pieces. A palette of colorful and luminous sounds, through which Tiersen asserts his regionalist flair. Sumptuous ballads halfway between Irish folklore and Polish waltz ("La Dispute") where the violin comes to marry the harpsichord, the accordion, the mandolin. Poetic at will. --Valerie Dupouy
