 It's 1979, and the most beautiful and unrepeatable album of Christopher is released, as he will never have such success again, a masterpiece of refinement and elegance, a voice that caresses all palates and pleases all ears, a concentrated essence of pop-soft melodies, solos that do not falter in the least.

 A real drawback of this album is the mastering of the ten tracks that make up the CD: very low, muted.
