Alexandre Tharaud is one of today's leading pianists, internationally celebrated for the elegance, imagination and expressive depth of his artistry.

A sought-after soloist and recitalist, Tharaud performs regularly with many of the world's leading orchestras and appears in prestigious concert halls including the Philharmonie de Paris, Wigmore Hall, the Musikverein, Carnegie Hall and the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. He is equally renowned for his chamber music collaborations and interdisciplinary projects with dancers, writers, filmmakers and artists beyond the classical world.

An exclusive Erato artist, Tharaud has built an award-winning discography of more than 25 solo albums, including landmark recordings of Bach's Goldberg Variations, Beethoven's late sonatas, Chopin's 24 Preludes and the complete solo piano works of Ravel.

Beyond the concert stage, he has appeared in Michael Haneke's Amour and the film Boléro, is the subject of the documentary Alexandre Tharaud, Le Temps Dérobé, and is the author of three books exploring music, creativity and the life of a pianist.
