Alexandre Tharaud is a French pianist who has an international reputation as an artist of unique vision and originality. Tharaud is heralded for his brilliantly conceived programs and bestselling recordings that range from Bach, Chopin, Rameau, and Ravel to music inspired by 1920s Paris cabaret life. His playing has been praised by The New York Times as "exquisite, crisp and beautifully textured" and noted for its "refinement and daring." He made his Carnegie Hall debut during the 2012-13 season in a sold-out program of Scarlatti and Liszt. That year also saw Tharaud star in and provide the soundtrack to the film Amour, which took the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival. His Ovations debut will include works by Mozart, Couperin, Schubert and Beethoven.
