c'est magnifique 29 Aug 2003
By Alejandra Vernon - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
A marvelous 1995 collaboration between Celine and Jean-Jaques Goldman, this CD is treasure. Goldman wrote all the songs, except for "Cherche encore" ("Search Again"), which was written by Erick Benzi. Goldman and Benzi did all but one of the superb arrangements and musical direction; the final track, the sweet, beautiful "Vole" ("Fly"), is very simple, and by pianist Roland Romanelli. Goldman joins Celine in a terrific duo, the energetic "J'irai ou tu iras" ("I'll Go Where You Go").

Highlights for me are: Three gentle, melodic ballads that are sung with a depth of emotion that goes straight to the heart: "Je sais pas" (I Don't Know"), "La memoire d'Abraham", and "J'attends" ("I Was Waiting") are exquisite, and the funky, smooth and easy "Le Ballet" is irresistible.
Celine's agile voice is like an instrument with extraordinary precision; in "Prie`re paienne" ("Pagan Prayer"), which is a vibrant up-tempo number with a flurry of horns, she uses her voice like a trumpet, to remarkable effect. What appeals to me the most are the many colors of her sound; she can go from a luminous whisper to a rich, dark resonance, and her phrasing is exceptional.

The booklet insert has lovely photographs and some recording information. No lyrics are supplied, and it would have been nice to have them, with English translations, for those who do not speak French, especially since these lyrics are poetic and very moving. The music alone however, and Celine's heartfelt renditions, are more than enough to satisfy the listener. Total time: 47'12.

UNBELIEVABLE Work of MASTERPIECE! 22 Jan 2000
By "v323" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I have to admit I don't speak French. I pick up a few words here and there, but I already have all of Celine Dion's English albums and I wanted some more of that heavenly angelic voice and I decided to buy 2 French albums, this one and S'il Suffisait D'aimer. Both are excellent and though I can't understand what she's singing about, there's a specialness about her singing that lets you enjoy the song even if you don't understand the lyrics.

My favorite tracks on this album are Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore and Cherche Encore. The best!

Suitable for all... Even non-French speakers 6 April 2002
By iljc82 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Some people get really touchy when they ponder whether to buy one of Céline Dion's product for fear of some nasal art produced by a mediocre artist. Well, this album might be it that will change your point of view in spite of her amateurish try with French rock star Jean Jacques Goldman.

The first track is a soulful French ballad that showcases Céline Dion's deeply felt emotions together with the innovative arrangements of Jean Jacques Goldman's catchy beats. Later Céline's music evolves into a variety of genres including the impishly jazzy Le Ballet (which is a feature song for her D'eux concerts), the rock Cherchez Encore and J'iras Ou Tu Iras and more soulful Le Memoire D'Abraham and Vole. Not to forget the uptempo Destin for the pop-goers.

Would strongly recommend this to everyone, who hasn't heard good music for a long time. This is timeless and one of Céline's best albums in my opinion. If you like this, probably you will like S'il Suffisait D'aimer and A New Day Has Come as well.
