The brains behind with the soundtracks to Amélie Poulain and Good Bye Lenin!, Breton composer and multi-instrumentalist Yann Tiersen is a man of eclectic tastes. Always game for a bit of genre-hopping, he tackles chanson, rock or classical musical with the same gusto. Originality, improvisational verve and brilliant melodic sense are the hallmarks of this rare artist. His latest album, Skyline, is out on April 17.
