Beautiful Obel (it was absolutely a title)

Agnes Obel Thaarup Carolina, wikipedia tells us, is a singer, pianist and composer born Danish 28 October 1980. 'Philharmonics', his first album was released October 4, 2010 in her country and in various other European countries by the independent publisher PIAS. 'Philarmonics has been certified double platinum in February 2011, and this edition is in all likelihood came revive sales. Agnes Obel sings with a little girl's voice often little poems in thumbnails on music that borrows from classical music in the interpretation and implementation mainly piano / strings but also Anglo-Saxon folk in certain arrangements. A piece such as 'Brother Sparrow' also evokes the late Elliott Smith (in this respect, the presence on the piece of a guitar and a battery is not indifferent). Of good behavior, the whole is not nearly as austere as the portrait of the lady on the cover might suggest, hence the results mentioned above in terms of sales. This edition includes the original album on CD and a concert 1 extract (6 titles, including 3 not on the album) plus a "piano session" (ie without singing with orchestra but when necessary) of title 5 of the original album on CD 2. A booklet gives some information on the recordings and lyrics. Overall, an authentic discovery and, in this edition, an interesting package.
