French pianist Richard Clayderman will give a recital Dec. 20 at Shenzhen Poly Theater.

    Clayderman has released numerous albums, including the compositions of Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, instrumental renditions of popular music, rearrangements of movie soundtracks, ethnic music, and easy-listening arrangements of popular works of classical music.

    In 1976, he was invited by record producers Toussaint and De Senneville to record a gentle piano ballad. “He was an interesting musician with a soft touch and good technique,” said Toussaint.

    Clayderman has recorded over 1,300 melodies and has created a new romantic style through a repertoire that combines his trademark originals with classics and pop standards.
