Richard Clayderman's signature song, it proved to be a commercial success and stood the test of time. The play is not only an expectation of youth and life but a desire to encourage the diversity in music. It was a celebration of the 30 years since the initial release, in 1976.Ĭlayderman's masterpiece was used in various projects such as "Lovingly Yours, Helen" and "G*yni**ers From Outer Space". In 2007, he once again released a version of the song on the album "A Thousand Winds". Also, in 1999, Clayderman recorded it as a duet along Francis Goya and it was part of the album "Together". "Ballade pour Adeline" was also recorded by Jean Claude Borelly, in the first part of the 1980's. Structurally, it is formed of 19 bars divided into three parts. The song reached more than 35 foreign markets worldwide.ĭespite being a piano ballad, the song has also been played at guitar. Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint were deeply impressed by his soft touch and good technique, not being able to predict an outstanding success with 22 million copies in 38 countries in a short period of time.Īfter the recording, "Ballade Pour Adeline" became a fantastic success by selling over 20 million copies throughout the world. Toussaint, who is a famous music producer, contacted Richard Clayderman in 1976 and asked him to record the piano ballad.Ĭlayderman was competing with another 20 contestants and eventually won the chance to record Senneville's tribute to his newborn daughter. It was composed as a homage for Senneville's daughter, Adeline, around the time she was born.
