This review is from: Lara Fabian: En Toute Intimite (DVD)

I work with an American singer and Oldies star named Fabian and one night went hunting on youtube for any current clips of his. By this odd path I've encountered a Belgian woman who's almost literally taken my breath away.

Let me first say that I can't stand the false, Las Vegas, poorly overacted hystrionics of Celine Dion and her contemporaries. Watching her is for me like chewing on tin foil. The most impressive aspect of this DVD is Ms. Fabian's inate ability to present a deeply dramatic performance without for a second it seeming posed or premeditated. When her voice flies you're convinced that it's the sound of her torn heart and not sixteen vocal coaches and agents.

Except for one song Ms. Fabian sings in French but don't let that deter you from the experience - her intensity and manner of delivery is such that you somehow seem to understand the words. And as the title says it's truly an intimate evening - she performs most of the concert in a beautiful silk nightgown which instead of (or not only) lending a physical intimacy to the affair simply amplifies the fragility of her heart and the baring of her soul to you.

Ms. Fabian is accompanied by an exceptional pianist, a small string ensemble, a bare stage and minimal lighting... and it works. The sound is flawless, the camerawork is slow and steady and respectful (instead of the aggravating MTV style of two second shots upon one second shots.)

I now don't know whether I want to avoid romance at all costs or go find the perfect woman and fall for her deeply... preferably in Paris... but I do expect that I'll never forget this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inovative and refreshing!, May 20, 2004

This review is from: Lara Fabian: En Toute Intimite (DVD)

When I got Lara's live dvd, I was blown away. Her stage presentation was awesome despite the fact she was ill at the time. When I read she'd release En Toute Intimité, a show she had been envisioning and creating for a while, I was put in great expectation. The concert is undescribable. Her professionalism is evident in bringing to the fans the timless mood of intimacy. Her rendition of Brel's Voir un ami pleurer brings tears to every eyes. Aimer déjè, Tout, J'y crois encore, Caruso, Bambina, Si tu m'aimes, her greats hits performed as never seen before, especially her interpretation of Je suis Malade. This is a must-have for every fan who wants to really get into the soul of the artist you admire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous, March 1, 2006

This review is from: Lara Fabian: En Toute Intimite (DVD)

Lara is always superb on stage. Her beauty and powerful voice will leave you breathless and will ensure that you watch this DVD over and over again. Lara's style on this show is a bit different from Lara Fabian Live (her Nue tour). Her approach on this DVD is similar to her 9-album although she sings all of her previous hits (unfortunately no English songs, but fans of Lara don't care, she sings great in any language). Even if the show is a bit more sedated than her Nue tour, it still has humor (Lara has a great sense for humor), style and elegance (a true Lara Fabian trademark). Two hours of non-stop musical excellence.

A must for everyone who's interested in Lara's music.
