Info for Hommage à Barbara

Als Barbara 1997 starb, konnte der Friedhof von Bagneux bei Paris die Menge der Verehrer kaum fassen. Einige von ihnen stimmten nach dem Begräbnis ihre Chansons an – unter ihnen auch der französische Pianist Alexandre Tharaud. „Damals gelobte ich, eines Tages ein Album mit ihren Chansons zu machen“, gesteht er. Anlässlich von Barbaras 20. Todestag ist dieses Versprechen nun Realität geworden, als vereintes Projekt „Tharaud & Friends“: Das Album Barbara ist eine faszinierende musikalische Verbeugung vor einer der größten Chanson-Legenden Frankreichs.

Tharaud lud für seine Hommage gleich eine ganze Reihe von Musiker-, Sänger- und Schauspieler-Freunden von Renaud Capuçon bis Vanessa Paradis und Juliette Binoche ein, die Barbaras unsterbliche Chansons in den unterschiedlichsten vokalen Besetzungen der CD 1 wie meist instrumentalen Arrangements der CD 2 seines Doppelalbums Barbara leuchten lassen. Sogar Leinwand-Ikone Helmut Berger ist bei den drei Bonus-Tracks der limitierten Erstauflage als Rezitator von Barbaras in Deutschland berühmtestem Chanson zu hören: Als Barbara 1964 ein Gastspiel in der Studentenstadt Göttingen gab, inspirierte sie das zum heute legendären Chanson „Göttingen“, das seitdem als musikalisches Symbol der deutsch-französischen Völkerverständigung gilt – vom früheren Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder sogar 2003 in einer Rede zitiert.

Alexandre Tharaud, Klavier




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.
