1. Ballade Pour Adeline - Richard Clayderman
"Ballade pour Adeline" (French for "Ballad for Adeline") is a 1977 instrumental by Richard Clayderman, composed by Paul de Senneville. Paul de Senneville composed the piece as a tribute to his newborn daughter, Adeline.[1] As of 2020, worldwide sales of the recording have reached 22 million copies in 38 countries.[2] It remains Clayderman's signature hit. The French trumpeter Jean-Claude Borelly recorded his version in the early 1980s, 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 it was released on their studio album, Together. This recording also used the same 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." Clayderman was accompanied by a new string arrangement by Olivier Toussaint.
