Richard Clayderman (born Philippe Pagès on December 28, 1953, Paris) is a French pianist who has released numerous albums including the original compositions by Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, instrumental renditions of popular music, rearrangements of movie sound tracks, ethnic music, and easy-listening arrangements of most popular works of classical music.Clayderman was taught the piano from a very young age by his father, who himself was a piano teacher.
At the age of twelve, he was accepted into the Paris Conservatoire of Music where he won great acclaim in his later adolescent years. Financial difficulties, not the least precipitated by his father's illness, would forestall a promising career as a classical pianist. So in order to earn a living, he found work as a bank clerk and as an accompanist to contemporary bands. He accompanied French well-known pop singers such as Johnny Hallyday, Thierry Leluron, and Michel Sardou.
He has recorded over 1,200 melodies and has created a new romantic style through a repertoire which combines his trademark originals with classics and pop standards. He has devoted much of his time to performing concerts and pleasing his fans going as far as playing 200 shows in 250 days. He has clocked up worldwide record sales of approximately 90 million, at the last count, and a remarkable 267 Gold and 70 Platinum discs to his credit. He is popular in Asia and is noted by the Guinness Book of World Records as being "“the most successful pianist in the world."
He lives in Normandy with his wife Christine, son Peter, and daughter Maud.
