5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful CD, March 18, 2003

This review is from: Chrysalide (Audio CD)

I had no idea who Patrick Fiori was until I stumbled upon this CD 3 years ago in Paris. After listening to the first 3 tracks I bought it without any further hesitation. He has a smooth clear high voice which is easy on the ear. The music, being sung in French is too marvellous for words. I don't understand a word, but it's great!! Buy it, you won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars How do you say "Talented Vocalist" in French?, July 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Chrysalide (Audio CD)

Even if you do not understand a single lyric, it is impossible not to be moved by the beauty of Patrick's voice. In fact, even though I speak French, one of the songs I most appreciated on this album is Terra Umana, sung in the language of Corse, which I do not understand. With the force, control, and range of his voice, and with the emotion communicated through several of the songs, it is no surprise that he has a background in musical theater (Notre Dame de Paris). I urge my fellow English-speakers not to miss the opportunity to discover this incredibly gifted French artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hero from another century, February 2, 2006

This review is from: Chrysalide (Audio CD)

This is Patrick's first album that I listened to. I am glad that I heard this one before "Prends-moi". If "Prends-moi" were my first experience with Patrick Fiori, I would never have given him another chance. As far as essential Patrick Fiori repertoire goes, "Chrysalide" is the official first album. This is when we see the real Patrick. The first album is to commercial and superficial. His beautiful voice gets lost in all the synethetic sound effects. On "Chrysalide" he really shows his true self for the first time. It's Patrick expressing Patrick. Not Patrick expressing what his producers want him to express. In "Chrysalide" he plunges into philosophy, religion, patriotism. It's not just about romantic love. His tone is a perfect blend of melancholy and optimism. His voice appeals to young girls on a very archetypical level. This is what Prince Charming sounds like. This is the romantic hero that 7-year old girls dream of.
