Ballade Pour Adeline

Have to put this out there. My most favourite piece of music ever. 

Years ago I had it on an LP. I recorded this one track onto a 60 minute tape, over and over again, filled the whole side with it. I have just found the tape, and it is playing now as I type. I bought the stereo when I moved here, but hardly use it. I have a few vinyl records left, a few cd's, and some tapes. Just out of curiosity I might start playing music again. 
I seem to remember I have posted about Richard Clayderman before. Just checked, and so I did. Blog post for 3rd September 2019. Five and a half years ago.
I am now going to let the tape play through to the end. Never tire of it. 
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona 

PS. Just checked. This video has had 93 million views, and 23,088 comments. Richard has 661k subscribers. It was posted 12 years ago. A nice little earner he has there.

    1. That was very nice, Helen. Thanks for the link. I found another version where he is playing it in front of an audience. I like to watch the expressions on the faces of pianists as they play. It's like they switch off from the outside world and become completely immersed in their music.
