COMPOSER YANN TIERSEN AGAIN IN MOSCOW. AMELIE, GOOD BYE LENIN, L’ABSENTE & OTHER

On November 25, 2003, composer and musician Yann Tiersen performed at the Gorky Moscow Art Academic Theater. It was the second visit of the author of the music, already beloved by the Moscow public, to the popular films “Amelie” (the full name is “The Unbelievable Fate of Amelie Poulain” with Audrey Tautou in the title role) and “Goodbye Lenin!” (one of the roles was played by the Russian actress Chulpan Khamatova). The concert was organized by the JSA Promoter team.

French (Breton) multi-instrumentalist, minimalist composer, and singer Yann Tiersen has become a relevant and sought-after artist in the Russian capital. The performance was a success: on the stage, there were many different instruments, from classical to unusual. At the same time, three musicians created an acoustic sound palette that bewitched the audience. Melodies from the cult films “Amelie” and “Goodbye Lenin!” and compositions from the 2001 album “Absent” (L’Absent) were played. At the end of the musical performance, fans did not want to let the musicians off the stage. Yann Tiersen returned for an encore and played the last song on a tiny toy baby piano while kneeling. A live music show in the Moscow theater confirmed the name of Yann Tiersen’s live album, released a year earlier, “C’était ici” – This was here!
