The talents of my friends are a constant source of amazement for me. In case you are not aware, our Kari has just put out a new CD, Nos Mots, which is absolutely fabulous. From start to finish, it is an wonderful piece of artistry. The songs with vocals are all in French (with the English provided in the booklet). At the moment, my vocal favorite is Paysages Du Monde (Landscapes of the World), and instrumental is Sonatine pour Violon et Piano. Although, Tout De Meme (All the Same) is coming up on the inside - it looks like Ollie wrote the words for this song. I am a huge fan of music which incorporates the cello, and there are some lovely pieces to be had on Nos Mots. Jon also plays and conducts on the CD. The packaging is very high quality as well. I highly recommend this beautiful work. Well done, Kari!

Hello!
I just listened to it, and it's SUPERB! I especially enjoy your Faure-esque harmonic twists in "Un ange chante", and the lyrics in "Brouillard." This is a really consistent album, and I look forward to listening to it encore et encore!!
Thanks so much!!!!!

Hi Kari,
Well I received Nos Mots yesterday and I played it last night. What a lovely work it is! The album is beautifully arranged and performed and your voice and songs are magnificent! Sonatine, Papier Glace and Sonate D'Automne are gorgeous miniature masterpieces! I'll be playing the CD VERY often!
Bravo to you!
Love and Blessings,
Michael
Kari,
I got the CD and immediately played the entire thing. It’s terrific! Congratulations, and thanks for including me on such an accomplishment. J

It arrived yesterday, and I'm swept away!..Too soon to define more specific impressions, except to say I was especially taken with track 4, Sois La Pour Moi...and Sonate D'Automne, both tracks :)...and of course, Un Ange Chante...
I caught Bill taking his break from rebuilding our front steps, and played those tracks...He was quite willing to listen, which is a sure sign of interest...We both like music, and sometimes our tastes coinside, but often he'll ask that I lower the volume if it differs from his taste... There was none of that today, in fact his face held a very pleasant look, and his break lasted longer than usual ;p
I had yesterday evening to listen, and was out of here early this a.m., but I had Nos Mots playing as I drove...Plan to listen again this evening...What I enjoy is getting into the lyrics, and perhaps uttering a little of the French (if by chance it is in synch with yours, I'm so pruod !!)
Kari, you are quite a talented composer, lyricyst (poet), singer, pianist.....All of those things amaze me, as I'm not so much at any of that, but, I do have a special niche (however crowded), as a true fan of one Kari Tieger, and am proud to have you as my friend !!
The album is smooth and polished, and very worthy of hitting the charts ! More reflections as I continue to listen...
And thanks for personalizing my copy ! :P Take care...

Hi Kari,
Your disc is beautiful.
Linda's first comment on seeing the cover was "Wow, she looks gorgeous!!
I appreciate the special thanks in the intro flap. I really like the lyrics and translations (an art form in its own right), the layout, photos, and the classy, classic look of the overall package. Even though it’s in French, I think the quality of the song writing and the passion of the performances will generate attention and sales here in the states.
This is a fine piece of work that you should be very proud of. Great job!
I hope to see you soon.
Best,
T
salut Kari
j'ai enfin eu un peu de temps pour écouter ton cd en français (l’autre pas encore)
il y a certains arrangements que j'apprécie beaucoup, surtout les chansons faites avec des vrais instruments (guitares) comme le second titre
c un album assez personnel ou on ressent bien une atmosphère de nostalgie et de mélancolie, très féminin
est ce toi qui composes les chansons instrumentales?
j'apprécie aussi ta façon de parler sur certains titres comme si tu récitais des poèmes, c bien fait ... je n'écouterais pas ça tous les jours, car c un CD a écouter a tête reposée mais j'apprécie le fait qu'il soit original et personnel ... je n'ai pas encore bien écouté les textes mais ils ont l'air, d'un premier abord assez riche ...
voila,
pour ma part, je finalise toujours mon 3eme CD et je te l'envoie disons, pour être sur, courant juillet ....
a + Kari
