An outstanding soloist as well as a fine chamber musician, Alexandre Tharaud has dedicated much of his time to French music and received critical acclaim. His recording of Ravel’s complete works for solo piano including two world premiere recordings was greeted with the best awards from the French press. His recording of Milhaud’s solo piano music on Naxos (8.553443) also received accolades. He was also musical advisor at the French National Library for a “French Mélodie” concert series.
