昨天和我們家的小布去聽了理察克萊德門的音樂演奏會
話說這個機緣巧合來自於亞太電信
某天下午我們突然收到一封掛號信
結果打開一看是我們抽中了理察克萊德門的門票ㄟ...
在那時候續約真是續對了時間
我超愛理察克萊德門因為夢中的婚禮
第一次愛上這種鋼琴樂曲很動人
我們昨天整裝出發前往台北國際會議中心
我們家的小布穿得很有聽音樂會的Fu唷
超帥的辣...可惜他是我的哈哈哈
到了八點準時開始
開場白的人最後一句「掌聲歡迎理察克萊德門」
我的手拍得比誰都用力我真的期待很久了
燈光暗下我的心情也隨著音樂有了節奏
因為我們坐在包廂去所以離得有點遠
從螢幕上看到的理察克萊德門有些蒼老
不過彈琴功力依然如故
他的雙手和鋼琴似乎是一體的
每個音符從他手中彈奏出來都像一個個小精靈
跳躍在琴鍵上滑出一首首扣人心弦的樂章
所有的人都在陶醉
假如這是一場夢
那麼它是一場我不願意醒來的夢
包圍在一場音樂的洗禮
我的心情像是在舞台那道純白的燈光一樣透淨
剎時間我覺得只剩下我和理察克萊德門存在而已
今晚的月色和我心情一樣....美麗
每彈完一個段落理察克萊德門就會將樂譜贈送給別人
可惜我不會彈琴不然我一定搶頭香的
沉浸在理察克萊德門雙手的魔力
最後還是要醒過來
像灰姑娘的魔法會在12點消失一樣
離開大會堂我多希望和理察克萊德門來個不期而遇丫...
為這場演奏會留下一個紀念的只是一張理察克萊德門的海報
但我很愛
夢中的婚禮、給愛德琳的詩、兒時記趣、少女協奏曲....很好聽
今晚我和我們家的小布有個愉快浪漫的夜晚
期待下次還能聽到這麼美的音樂

關於Richard Clayderman
Richard Clayderman has done what virtually no other French act has
ever done..... established a truly international career as a best
selling recording artist and concert performer.
Born Philippe Pagès on December 28th, 1953, he encountered the piano early in his life. His father, a piano teacher, laid the foundation for his son’s later success and began teaching him how to play at a very young age. It is said that, at the age of six, Richard Clayderman could read music more adeptly than his native French.
Early success
When he was twelve years old he was accepted at the Conservatoire of Music where, at sixteen, he won first prize. He was predicted a promising career as a classical pianist. However, shortly after this, and much to everyone’s surprise, he cast aside his classical training and turned to contemporary music.
”I wanted to do something different”, Clayderman says, ”So, with some friends, I created a rock group ; it was a tough time..... a hard tine..... and the little money we could make was devoted to buying equipment. In fact, I used to feed myself so badly - mainly on sandwiches - that I had to have an operation for an ulcer when I was only seventeen”.
Accompanist
At that time his father was becoming seriously ill and was unable to support his son financially. So, in order to earn a living, Clayderman found work as an accompanist and session musician.
”I enjoyed it”, he says, ”and it paid well at the same time. That is how I drew away from classical music, although it gave me a strong basis for what I do now”.
His talent did not go unnoticed and he soon became much in demand as an accompanist to such major French stars as Michel Sardou, Thierry LeLuron and Johnny Halliday. But, when asked about his ambitions at that time, he says, ”! really did not want to be a star, I was happy to be an accompanist and to play in groups”.
Delphine
Nevertheless, his life changed dramatically in 1976 when he received a telephone call from Olivier Toussaint, a well-known French record producer, who, with his partner, Paul de Senneville, was looking for a pianist to record a gentle piano ballad. Paul had composed this ballad as a tribute to his new born daughter “Adeline”. The 23 year old Philippe Pagès was auditioned along with 20 other hopefuls and, to his amazement, he got the job.
”We liked him immediately”, says Paul de Senneville, ”His very special and soft touch on the keyboards combined with his reserved personality and good looks very much impressed Olivier Toussaint and I. We made our decision very quickly”.
Ballade pour Adeline
Philippe Pagès’ name was changed to Richard Clayderman (he adopted his great-grandmother’s last name to avoid mispronunciation of his real name outside France), and the single took off, selling an astonishing 22 million copies in 38 countries. It was called ”Ballade pour Adeline”.
”When I signed him”, says Olivier Toussaint, ”I told him that if we sell 10,000 singles it will be marvellous, because it was disco at that time and we could not bet on such a ballad being a winner..... We could not imagine that it would be so big”.
Prolific artist
It was the start of what has become an outstanding success story, and since that time, Richard Clayderman’s distinctive piano style has earned him superstar status all over the world. Today he has recorded over 1,200 melodies and, in the words of a German journalist, ”he has arguably done more to popularise the piano around the world than anyone since Beethoven”. Richard Clayderman has created a ”New Romantic” style through a repertoire which combines his ’trademark’ originals with classics and pop standards. He has clocked up massive worldwide record sales of approximately 90 million, at the last count, and an incredible 267 Gold and 70 Platinum discs to his credit.
However, ”The Prince of Romance” (as he was dubbed by Nancy Reagan) is not simply a recording artist. In fact, despite his natural shyness and reserve, he is completely in his element on stage ; a Richard Clayderman concert is a real ’Spectacular’.
Tours
”I love performing live on stage”, he says, ”because I have direct contact with my audience. In concert, with my 10 musicians or a symphony orchestra, I like to mix different tempos, rhythms and styles to evoke all kinds of emotion”.
Clayderman’s international success has resulted in a punishing itinerary which, in the past, has seen him play as many as 200 concerts in just 250 days spent outside France. In spite of this, he remains very much a family man.
Family
”My family is extremely important to me”, he often says, ”my mother, my wife Christine, my daughter, Maud, and my son, Peter....they are what keep me going - my reason for living, apart from my music, of course”.
The biggest price Richard Clayderman feels he has to pay for his international stardom is the time he spends away from his family - a sacrifice he acknowledges they all suffer but accept as part of his duty to his millions of fans
