Our Take

French pianist Alexandre Tharaud takes us on a journey fit for royalty with his latest album "Versailles." Hailing from the land of baguettes and berets, Tharaud effortlessly blends classical elegance with a modern twist, delivering a musical experience as rich and decadent as a slice of gateau.

From the opening notes of the title track, Tharaud transports us to the opulent halls of Versailles, where the grandeur of the palace is echoed in his virtuosic playing. Each piece on the album is a miniature masterpiece, meticulously crafted and delicately executed.

Tharaud's interpretation of works by Rameau, Couperin, and Scarlatti is nothing short of mesmerizing. His fingers dance across the keys with grace and precision, painting a vivid picture of the French Baroque era.

But it's not all powdered wigs and courtly dances on "Versailles." Tharaud also includes modern compositions by composers such as Poulenc and Satie, injecting a fresh energy into the album.

Overall, "Versailles" is a triumph of style and substance. Tharaud's reverence for tradition is evident in every note, but he also proves that classical music can be fun and accessible. So pour yourself a glass of champagne, put on your finest silk gown, and let Alexandre Tharaud whisk you away to the court of Louis XIV. It's a musical experience fit for a king.
