Clayderman's piano again live in Bulgaria

World-famous piano player Richard Clayderman will perform for the Bulgarian audience of October 15 in the National Palace of Culture (NDK), starting at 7.30pm. After the performance in Bulgaria, Clayderman will head to Colombia, Germany, Dubai and Switzerland.

Clayderman is one of the favorite piano players of the Bulgaria audience. His actual name is Philippe Pagès and he was born in Paris in 1953. He played piano since he was 16 years old, but his unwillingness to stay within the confines of the classical music sent him to the field of the popular music, becoming world-known in 1976 with Ballade Pour Adeline.

So far, Clayderman has released a number of albums, including the original compositions of Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, as well as various instrumental renditions of popular music, rearrangements of movie sound tracks, ethnic music and arrangements of very popular works of classical musicians.

Although he is recording continuously, Clayderman also cannot wait for the new concert dates: "I love playing live because of the direct contact with the audience. During a concert I like to mix different styles and rhythms together with my 10 musicians or classical orchestra, in order to provoke strong emotions," he says.
