The following is his brief introduction:

Richard Clayderman

I think everyone is familiar with the name "clayderman". In the early 1990s, it was also such an autumn. Accompanied by beautiful melodies such as Whispering in Autumn and adina by the Water, which were widely circulated in China, the famous French pianist Richard Clayderman, known as the "Romantic Piano Prince", performed in China for the first time, sending his fluent and gorgeous piano sound straight to people's eyes and ears. Ten years have passed quickly. At that time, the "Piano Prince" has now reached middle age, but his piano sound is not old, still so young, beautiful, so smooth, elegant and beautiful as spring.

Richard Clayderman was born in Paris. He started practicing piano at the age of five and went on stage at the age of six, so he was known as a piano prodigy. When I was a teenager, I entered the Paris National Conservatory of Music and Drama, won the first prize in the music competition, and graduated with excellent results. Originally, he was good at playing Chopin, Ravel, Debussy and others' works, and he was a star of tomorrow in classical music. But he unexpectedly became interested in pop music, so he turned to the field of pop music regardless of the opposition of people around him. 1977, clayderman stood out with Beautiful Adeline by the Water. Later, a large number of outstanding works such as To Alice, Whispering in Autumn, Heart Melody and Starry Sky were released one after another, which further enhanced their popularity. He established his own unique piano music style with gorgeous timbre, elegant melody and delicate and elegant image. Over the years, he has traveled all over the world in more than 30 countries and regions, with a total sales of more than 85 million copies and many gold records, thus becoming a piano star who is popular in today's world music scene. ...

Romance is a beautiful feeling, it is a pool of lingering spring water, it is also an intoxicating beautiful sadness, it is a warm moment of indifferent smile, and it is also a vision for the future. It was with his sincere, touching, passionate and dreamy piano sound that Richard Clayderman touched the mood of every audience. Among them, "Romeo and Juliet" shows Richard incisively and vividly, making people feel the tragic love tragedy of Romeo and Juliet from the music!

Some albums:

Destiny, Adinina by the Water, Starry Sky, Charming Oriental Love, Serenade of the Stars and so on. ...

A few days ago, the long-lost piano prince Richard Clayderman came to China again. The purpose of his trip is to hold a press conference and record a new album with Radio China and the National Symphony Orchestra. From the name, the relationship between Zhongguang National Orchestra and China traditional music is inseparable, and Richard's joining means introducing Chinese folk music into a brand-new world. Although this attempt also attracted Zhu Zheqin, who is famous for Sister Drum, many people still questioned it. What people care about is what the melody will be like after the combination of national music and western music. The organizer's answer is very general: the new record will respect the style of China music in melody to record the amazing scenery of China, the performance of bands and pianists.

As the main content. Today, this newspaper published the romantic story of the piano prince, hoping that more readers can understand the innovative story of the piano prince Richard.

As an outstanding concert performer and an artist with amazing record sales, Richard Clayderman has created a real international career. In fact, what he did was something that no other French artist had ever done.

Born in195365438+February 28th, Philippe Peckis (French name of Richard Clayderman) has been attached to the piano since childhood. His father is a piano teacher. He began to teach him to play the piano when he was very young, which laid the foundation for his son's future success. It is said that 6-year-old Richard Clayderman can read music more fluently than his mother tongue, French.

Richard Clayderman/Kloc-entered the Conservatory of Music at the age of 0/2, and won the first prize there at the age of 0/6. It is predicted that he will become a promising classical pianist. But not long after, to everyone's surprise, he gave up the training of classical music and turned to playing contemporary music.

"I want to do something different," clayderman said. "So, a few friends and I formed a rock band. It was a hard time, and the meager income we earned was used to buy equipment. In fact, because I often only use sandwiches to fill my stomach, I had to have a gastric ulcer operation at the age of 17. "

At that time, the father was seriously ill and could not support his son financially. In order to survive, clayderman found a job as a music accompaniment or performance during the conference.

"I loved those days," he said, "and the salary was high. This is how I left the experience of classical music, although the learning experience of classical music laid a solid foundation for my current performance. "

His talent will not be appreciated by others, and he will soon become a hot accompanist, just like many French stars such as Michael Sado, Dilly Lalulen and Johnny Khalid. However, when clayderman was asked about his ambition at that time, he said, "I really don't want to be a star. I want to be an accompanist and play in a band. "

But in 1976, his life changed greatly. A famous French record producer Olivier Doucette and his partner Paul De Senneville were looking for a pianist who could play a soothing piano version of folk songs to make an album, so they called clayderman. To the surprise of 23-year-old Philip Peckis, he stood out from 20 candidates and got the job.

"We fell in love with him immediately," said Paul de Senevel. "His special and gentle way of touching keys complements his implicit personality, and his appearance also left a deep impression on Oliver Doucette and me. We decided soon. "

Philip Peckis changed his name to Richard Clayderman, and the single sold an astonishing 22 million copies in 38 countries as soon as it was released.

"When I signed with him," said Olivier Doucette, "I told him that if we could sell 10,000 singles, the result would be quite good, because that was the era of dance music, and we could only bet on this album. However, it has achieved great success in Spain, followed by Germany, France, South Africa, Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom ... We can't imagine that it can be so successful. "

This is the beginning of the famous success story we know. Since then, Richard Clayderman has won the status of a world superstar with his unique playing style. Today, he has recorded nearly 1000 melodies. A German journalist wrote: "(We) have reason to say that he is the person who tries to spread piano music all over the world after Beethoven, and everything he has done is unparalleled." By combining his original trademark features with classical and popular factors, he created a "neo-romantic" style, and his global sales have exceeded 70 million. According to the latest statistics, he has an incredible 267 gold records and 70 platinum records.

However, the "Romantic Prince" (as nancy reagan called him) is not an artist who specializes in recording albums. In fact, although he was shy and reserved by nature, he devoted himself to playing on the stage and showed his true feelings. Richard Clayderman's concert was spectacular.

"I like playing live on the stage," he said, "because I can communicate directly with the audience. At the concert, I played with my 10 musician and the symphony orchestra. I like to mix different beats, rhythms and styles to arouse different emotions. "

Clayderman's international success comes at the cost of taking a difficult road. In the past, he tried to give 200 concerts abroad in 250 days. Nevertheless, he is still a man with a family.

"My family is extremely important to me," he often said. "My mother, my wife Christie, my daughter Maud and my son Peter … they are my motivation. Of course, they are different from my music."

In Richard Clayderman's view, as an international artist, the biggest price he paid was the days when he was separated from his family-he knew it was their common sacrifice, but he regarded it as part of his responsibility to millions of fans.
