Format:Audio CD
How bizarre - I too bought this album after hearing it in the Borders bookshop on the M62 (Borders is the main bookshop in York - they must be on commission). I didn't know who it was by, but was taken with it enough to buy it there and then. On getting it home and listening to it properly, I found most of the tracks were excellent, though the closeness (breathiness) of the recording setup does get a bit much after a time. Plus, after a series of slow tracks I found myself longing for a more upbeat track for contrast. In fact, I found that the more upbeat tracks, such as Le Toi du Moi and Le Plus Beau du Quartier actually work the best for me. I would certainly recommend this album, particularly if, like me, you enjoy the sound of the french language.

Just bought this CD today having decided to listen to French music to enhance my learning of the language. What a pure delight her voice is, further complemented by the lovely music. Made my 3-hour drive more pleasurable. If you're thinking of buying this, don't hesitate.

There must be something about this album and York as I also heard this in a shop in York. Carla Bruni's voice is beautiful and this album is great to listen to when you want to sit back and relax. Don't be put off by the fact that all the songs are in French, the music will carry you away and you'll soon forget that this is not in English.

Nice cd, as I imagined so.
The cd arrived surprisingly soon, within 3 days after i had ordered it. Except from the case being a little cracked at the back of it, the package was just fine, brand new. Read more

Lovely lovely lovely
I know this is mean and shallow but although I'd heard good things about Carla Bruni I swerved away from listening to her because of the fact that she's married to Sarkozy and I... Read more

If your Hi-Fi is half decent then play 'Le Plus Beau de Quartier' on it and be just sensually knocked out. Read more

Wonerful!
I came across this album about four years ago before the media overkill regarding her private life. This is a great CD and Carla Bruni is without doubt a serious musical talent... Read more

Outrageously easy on the ear
I bought this expecting very little. Bruni's throaty whisper is a little ridiculous, yes, but the gentle, upbeat music quickly infiltrates your consciousness. Read more

Beautiful and laid back
I cannot add anything else to what has already been written about this album. It is one of my favourites to relax to. Read more

Just beautiful.
So glad a chance read through a friends old copy of the Observer Music Monthly led me to check out Carla Bruni. Read more

Lovely surprise...
I'm a great fan of this album... I got hold of it initially completely by mistake in low quality MP3 format - just some files on an SD card I was borrowing. Read more
