Alexandre Tharaud
The opulence of Versailles. François Couperin, Duphly and d'Anglebert performed at the Palau de la Música Catalana by French pianist Alexander Tharaud. Presented by Georgia Mann.
Alexander Tharaud is one of the star pianists of his generation. From a concert recorded at the Palau de la Música Catalana, we'll hear music by François Couperin, Duphly and d'Anglebert in which his sense of characterisation and attention to detail really come to the fore. Tharaud is part of a long line of French pianists borrowing from the harpsichord oeuvre and proving that these pieces lose nothing in translation between instruments. In his hands we're transported to the exuberance and ostentation of the Court of Versailles. Presented by Georgia Mann.
