Richard Clayderman Piano recital (理查克萊德門鋼琴演奏會) will be presented at the Chih-De Hall, National Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Center, Kaohsiung City (高雄市中正文化中心至德堂) tonight, at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (國父紀念館) tomorrow, and at Taichung's National Chung Hsing University Huisun Auditorium (台中中興大學惠蓀堂) on Sunday. Clayderman, the world's most popular instrumental recording artist, encountered the piano early in his life. It is said that, at the age of six, Clayderman could read music more adeptly than his native French. Today, he has recorded over 1,000 melodies and, in the words of a German journalist, "he has arguably done more to popularize the piano around the world than anyone since Beethoven." Clayderman has created "new romantic" style through a repertoire which combines his "trademark" originals with classics and pop standards.
