Richard Claderman | His Greatest Melodies | Vinyl

Issued in 2017 on the ZYX Music label, this compilation gathers the French pianist’s best-known recordings, anchored by “Ballade pour Adeline,” the gentle 1977 piano ballad that sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and made Clayderman one of the best-selling instrumentalists in music history. The collection rounds out its sixteen tracks with Clayderman’s lushly orchestrated piano interpretations of well-known songs and film themes, including “Moon River,” “Chariots of Fire,” and “Over the Rainbow,” alongside pop covers like Abba’s “Chiquitita” and Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind.” Since the late 1970s, Clayderman has built a global following for his “neo-romantic” style, and this LP offers a compact overview of the melodic, accessible repertoire that defined his decades-long career.
