français
Richard Clayderman ne se pose pas en astrologue, il y a, en la matière, des spécialistes éminents qu'il respecte et grâce auxquels il a pu créer cette symphonie des signes.

En passionné qu'il est, il s'est, profondément imprégné des caractères fondamentaux propres à chacun des 12 signes du zodiaque et, dans son langage, celui de la musique, il a tenté d'aller plus loin...

Et parce que la musique va plus loin que les mots, Richard Clayderman est allé, véritablement, au coeur de la signification des signes. Agissant, comme miroir de l'âme, la musique tresse, entre elle et les natifs de chaque signe, un langage secret d'une extrême intimité.

Si la musique de ZODIACAL SYMPHONY parvenait à donner, à celui qui l'écoute, la sensation d'être compris, le projet, assez ambitieux, de Richard Clayderman serait réalisé.

English
Richard Clayderman doesn't pretend to be an astrologist. There are, in this particular field, prominent experts whom he respects and thanks to their knowledge he has been able to create this ZODIACAL SYMPHONY.

Richard Clayderman has been inspired by each sign's individual character and with his own language, the language of music, he has attempted to go even further... Because, music goes further than words Richard Clayderman has penetrated the heart of each sign's signification, like a mirror of the soul, weaving with each sign a secret and intimate language.

If all those who listen to the ZODIACAL SYMPHONY have the feeling that they have been better understood, then Richard Clayderman's rather ambitious goal will be considered an achievement.
