Richard Clayderman:Ballade Pour Adeline

Ballade pour Adeline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ballade pour Adeline is a 1976 instrumental composed by Paul de Senneville and played by Richard Clayderman. Paul de Senneville composed the piece as a tribute to his newborn daughter, Adeline. This ballade was also played as the theme piece of one of the old shows of the Philippines on GMA Network in the 1983 to 1996, "Lovingly Yours, Helen" hosted by the late Helen Vela.

The French trumpeter Jean-Claude Borelly recorded his version in the early 80's which used the same instrumental backing track as the original recording.

Richard Clayderman performed a duet of the track with guitarist Francis Goya in 1999, and was released on their studio album, 'Together'. Again this recording used the original backing track.

A new version of this piece was released on the Richard Clayderman studio album 'A Thousand Winds' in 2007 to celebrate 30 years since the original release of 'Ballade Pour Adeline'. Richard was accompanied by a new string arrangement by Olivier Toussaint.

This is the demo song on many older Casio keyboards (such as the ToneBank series).
