Info zu Cinema

Kino für die Ohren: „Eine Klangwelt erschaffen, ebenso fesselnd ohne die bewegten Bilder“, beschreibt Pianist Alexandre Tharaud das Vorhaben für sein neues Doppelalbum Cinema. Es enthält Soundtracks von Meisterwerken der Filmgeschichte aus über sechs Jahrzehnten und 19 verschiedenen Ländern. Darunter vielgeliebte Ohrwürmer von Komponisten wie Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota und Philip Glass. Für seine Einspielung fährt der berühmte französische Tastenzauberer eine Starbesetzung auf: das Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia unter der Leitung Antonio Pappano sowie zahlreiche ‚Special-Guests‘, darunter die Sängerinnen Vanessa Paradis, Camélia Jordana und Sopranistin Sabine Devieilhe.

„Die Ursprünge dieser Einspielung reichen sehr weit zurück“, holt Alexandre Tharaud aus. „Als Kind liebte ich es zu improvisieren und Melodien nachzuspielen, die mir gefielen. Das war vor allem Filmmusik aus dem Fernseher meiner Großeltern.“ Während des Studiums vertiefte er diese Leidenschaft und begleitete Stummfilme auf dem Klavier: „Manchmal muss man übertreiben, um einen Charakter mehr oder weniger liebenswert erscheinen zu lassen, damit das Publikum lacht oder weint.“ Die Idee zu Cinema nahm jedoch erst Gestalt an, als ihm Komponist Michel Legrand Partituren seiner Filmmusiken schickte, darunter ein Medley zu Barbara Streisands Filmklassiker Yentl. Weitere Titel des Albums (in Bearbeitung für Solo-Klavier – einige aus der Feder Alexandre Tharauds – , für Klavier und Orchester sowie in ihrer Originalversion) stammen aus Film-Klassikern wie Cinema Paradiso, Die fabelhafte Welt der Amélie, E. T., Der Leopard, Schindlers Liste und Star Wars.

Alexandre Tharaud
For Harmonia Mundi, Alexandre made a series of successful and award winning recordings which included discs of Rameau, Ravel (complete piano works), Bach (Italian Concerti), Couperin, Satie. He has recorded a series of Chopin discs; the complete waltzes and twenty four preludes as well as a personal selection, Journal Intime, which marked his first release with EMI Classics. Subsequent, award winning releases include JS Bach’s keyboard concertos and a selection of Scarlatti’s sonatas.

In recent seasons, Alexandre has appeared at the Köln Philharmonie, Bern Casino, Essen Philharmonie, South Bank piano series, Rudolfinum in Prague, Krakow Philharmonic, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Cité de la Musique, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, John F Kennedy Centre and Hoam Art Hall in Seoul. His festival credits include ‘Piano aux Jacobins', La Roque d'Anthéron, BBC PROMS, Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music, Sacrum-Profanum in Krakow, Schleswig-Holstein and the Rimini festival.

Alexandre is a Resident Artist at the MC2 in Grenoble, and was the Artistic Director of the Amadeus festival in Switzerland in 2011.

As a soloist, Alexandre has performed with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Münchner Rundfunkorchester, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio-France, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre National de Lyon, Orchestre National de Lille, Orchestre National de Bordeaux-Aquitaine, Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Orquestra Sinfonica do Estado de Sao Paulo, Umea Symphony Orchestra, Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Saarbrücken,

Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Taïwan National Symphony Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Les Violons du Roy and the Bolchoi Theatre Orchestra. Next season will see him perform Poulenc’s concerto with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

His close collaboration with cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras has led to invitations to perform at the most prestigious halls around the world and recordings of three successful CDs (Hungarian cello music, Arpeggione, Debussy/Poulenc).

Alexandre's adventurous approach to programming has resulted in a number of commissions and premières; he has toured extensively in Europe with his ‘Hommages à Rameau' and ‘Hommage à Couperin' programmes which feature works by the old masters interwoven with tributes by contemporary composers. May saw the premiere of Pianosong; a selection of contemporary works composed after popular songs from the 1960s-80s. He has also just premiered French composer Gérard Pesson’s new piano concerto, together with the Tonhalle.
