    Clayderman has released numerous albums including the compositions of Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, instrumental renditions of popular music, rearrangements of movie sound tracks, ethnic music and easy-listening arrangements of popular works of classical music. Clayderman has created a new romantic style through a repertoire which combines his originals with classics and pop standards.
