Su rostro de seguro no te es familiar pero te aseguro que tu mamá y tus tías lo conocen y quizás es hasta su amor platónico podríamos llamarlo incluso el "Chayanne del piano" pero su apodo real es "El principe del Romance".

Es un pianista francés de nombre Phillippe Pages nacido en el año de 1956 hijo de un maestro de piano, ya cuando la historia empieza con este rumbo sabremos que estamos en frente a un experto. De niño vivían en un modesto departamento con sus padres y hermana, por el ambiente en que se veía envuelto desarrollo un gusto por el piano y aprendía al escuchar a su padre impartir las clases de piano a sus alumnos.

Ya cuando cumplió 8 años de edad su padre le obsequio un piano viejo con el cual comenzó a aprender de verdad y leer las partituras, lógicamente lo llevaba en la sangre y tardo poco en aprender. Cuando contaba con 12 años de edad lo aceptaron en el conservatorio de música de París.

He is a French pianist named Phillippe Pages born in 1956 son of a piano teacher, and when the story begins with this course we know that we are in front of an expert. As a child he lived in a modest apartment with his parents and sister, and because of the environment in which he was involved he developed a taste for the piano and learned by listening to his father give piano lessons to his students.

When he was 8 years old, his father gave him an old piano as a gift, with which he began to really learn and read the scores, logically he had it in his blood and it didn't take him long to learn. When he was 12 years old he was accepted at the conservatory of music in Paris.

A los 16 años gano el primer lugar en la competencia de piano de la institución y a razón de todo comenzó su carrera como pianista clásico y concertista, sin embargo tiempo después decidió dejarlo todo.

Clayderman no se sentía a gusto en el mundo de piano clásico quería algo distinto y formo un grupo de rock con varios amigos esta fue una época difícil porque lo poco que generaban lo gastaban en nuevos equipos, se alimentaba mal al nivel de que a sus 17 años apenas tuvo que ser operado de una úlcera. Mas adelante su padre enfermo gravemente y se le complico demasiado su carrera musical por lo que tuvo que buscar empleo durante el día y en la noche era el pianista de varios grupos de música.

At the age of 16 he won first place in the institution's piano competition and thus began his career as a classical pianist and concert pianist, but later decided to give it all up.

Clayderman did not feel at ease in the world of classical piano, he wanted something different and formed a rock band with several friends. This was a difficult time because the little they generated was spent on new equipment, he ate poorly to the point that at the age of 17 he had to undergo surgery for an ulcer. Later on, his father became seriously ill and his musical career became too complicated for him, so he had to look for a job during the day and at night he was the pianist of several music groups.
