Free Music Notes for En Toute IntimiteFree Music Review: The Voice of My Soul Hit: 5 Stars
The first song I heard of Lara Fabian's was 'Adagio' almost five years ago--on the self-titled English debut of 2000. Since that first song, I haven't been able to find enough of Lara. This album showcases 16 tracks, taken mostly from the 2001 French release 'Nue,' and features Lara with a simple, elegant combination of strings and piano; creating a perfect mood to stir emotion when adding her phenomenal voice. Highlights for me on 'En Toute Intimité'are the cover of Charles Aznavour's 'Comme ils disent,' the loss in Fabian's 'Je T'Aime,' the hit duet with French vocalist Maurane 'Tu Es Mon Autre', and the impressively executed Italian aria 'Addio Del Passato' taken from Verdi's opera 'La Traviata.' Also included on the live album is an English track 'Calling You,'--never-before-recorded, nor released til now. In the beginning--Fabian was determined to become a recording artist after her success at the 1988 Eurovision song contest, and soon moved to French speaking Quebec. Born and raised in Belgium by a Flemish father and Italian mother--Lara learned and spoke several languages, studied dance, and was classically trained as a vocalist--though she considers herself more of a songwriter than as a vocalist. Lara Fabian is often considered a contemporary to Celine Dion. Unlike Celine however, Lara writes a majority of the music she records, which comes through in her interpretations. Thus Lara connects to her audiences' deepest cores with her voice, her uninhibited delivery, and most of all the intense performance that delivers her experiences, joys, sorrows, and more directly from Lara Fabian's mouth. She loses herself, and you will too if you listen with your soul. If you enjoy Lara Fabian, especially her 2001 album, 'Nue,' I would most definately recommend 'En Toute Intimité.' Lara Fabian sings with the voice of my soul, undoubtedly you will think the same after buying 'En Toute Intimité.' Otherwise I will tell you, if you appreciate incredibly beautiful music you will add this cd to your collection as soon as you can.
Free Music Review: *** LA VOIX FANTASTIQUE *** Hit: 5 Stars
AFTER FIRST LISTENING TO MS. FABIAN IN 2000, I BECAME AN INSTANT FAN OF HER MAGIC. THIS LIVE COMPILATION OF MOSTLY PREVIOUSLY RECORDED MATERIAL IS PROOF OF HER ENIGMATIC VOICE. YES, INDEED SHE HITS THOSE SKY-HIGH NOTES, BUT WHEN SOMEONE CAN SING WITH SUCH SKILL IT GOES WITH THE TERRITORY (I'M NO FAN OF PUNY VOICES). HER SOUND IS A COMBINATION OF POWER AND VULNERABILITY WHICH HER MUSIC & LYRICS ALLOW HER TO CONVEY. I'M AMAZED AT HER VOCAL ACROBATICS WHICH FEW OTHERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO EVEN DARE ATTEMPT. SHE IS A MASTER OF HER CRAFT. GO ON LARA, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST.
Free Music Review: Possibly the best live concert ever Hit: 5 Stars
My wife and I agree that Lara Fabian is the best French language singer alive, and that includes other greats, even Celine Dion. Unlike Celine's, Lara's voice is richer and equally tantalizing in the lower ranges as in the higher ones. The emotion in her interpretations also stands above all others. We had the pleasure of seeing her live in Brussels a few years back, and I am eager to have her do a US tour. In fact, I'd be prepared to go to Canada just to see her live again. If you want to buy a single Lara Fabian record, "En Toute Intimite" should be it.
Free Music Review: We need another album like this! Hit: 5 Stars
I can't say how much I love this album/concert. I've never heard a female voice so magnificent. I've sampled some of Lara's other albums but they just don't compare to this one in style and grace. Her voice just stands out so much when its not accompanied by so much of the background instruments as in some of her more pop albums. Here it's simply a piano, and a string quartet. Quite simple, but the combination with her voice is extremely beautiful. I hope she does another intimate album like this in the near future. She is at her best in this style.
Free Music Review: This voice needs NO help Hit: 5 Stars
Lara Fabian may very well have the most beautiful voice on the whole planet, and no album demonstrates that more than En Toute Intimite. - she hardly even needs the piano and cello accompaniments and she displays a vocal range that other singers can only dream about. This is a live recording, the quality of which is unsurpassed. Never mind if you don't speak French - that won't stop you from enjoying an immensely talented singer. And if her French weren't beautful enough, there are a couple of tracks to show that her Italian is no worse.
