In 1989, the Netherlands' most famous flautist and
France's best selling pianist teamed up to record a
collection of contemporary mellow compositions. The
resulting album by Berdien Stenberg and Richard
Clayderman, Amour Pour Amour, highlights the artists
respective brilliance and stands as one of the most
thrilling flute and piano recordings ever.
Stenberg's sometimes breathy, sometimes crystalline
performance both carries the melody and sets the varied
emotional tones of the music, whilst Clayderman's
percussive yet subtle mastery of the piano lends force,
texture and verve. Separately, these two musicians have
sold 80 million albums [1989 figures]. Together, they
redefine the relationship between their chosen
instruments, creating a lasting document of musical
beauty and truth.
