Chopin: Preludes

Tharaud, Alexandre

HMC 901982

Alexandre Tharaud lives in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. His apartment is stylishly furnished, only one is missing in the pianist's apartment - the piano. "I broke away from my piano because my instrument overpowered me. I prefer to work with other people. I have a big bunch of keys to my friends' apartments. I call in advance to make sure they're not there and only take the scores I'm working on with me. So I'm concentrated and not distracted."
