Alexandre Tharaud's repertoire is wide-ranging, from classical to romantic works,He has a rich variety of music, from modern and contemporary to chansons. In "Versailles," an album of charming pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries by Flamaux, Couperin, Royer, D'Anglebert, and others, he overcame a number of problems in order to play on a modern piano works that were originally performed on the clavecin (harpsichord), such as the difficulty of playing them on a modern piano, which requires a heavier action (keystroke mechanism) than a 17th-century clavecin. The album "Versailles," which features charming small pieces such as the D'Anglebert, overcame a number of problems, including the difficulty of playing them on a modern piano, which requires a heavier action (key striking mechanism) than a 17th century clavecin (harpsichord). In this Bach album, many of the pieces are not arranged for piano by many composers and performers, but by Tharaud himself, from lute, flute, Passion, and other pieces. Taro's Bach reproduces the elegant music played in the royal palaces of the time, while realizing the world of Bach's music as if it were his own, not only with Bach's unique sublime atmosphere and divine lyricism, but also with his poetic expressiveness.
