          Alexandre Tharaud

          French pianist (born 1968)

          Alexandre Tharaud (born 9 December 1968) is a French pianist. He is active on the concert stage and has released a large and diverse discography.[1]

          Life and career

          Born in Paris, Tharaud discovered the music scene through his mother who was a dance teacher at the Opéra de Paris, and his father, an amateur director and singer of operettas.

          Tharaud thus appeared as a child in theatres around northern France, where the family spent many weekends.[2] His grandfather was a violinist in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s.[3] At the initiative of his parents, Alexandre started his piano studies at the age of five, and he entered Conservatory of the 14th Arrondissement, where his teacher was Carmen Taccon-Devenat, a student of Marguerite Long.[2]

          He entered the Conservatoire de Paris at the age of 14 where he won first prize for piano in the class of Germaine Mounier when he was 17 years old.
