My beloved ChristineRichādo Kureidāman

It’s one of Richard Clayderman’s signature pieces.

It opens with a wonderful piano intro, and what follows is superb as well.

Easy listening often doesn’t leave much of an impression because it’s played at a low volume, but if you play it loud, I’m sure its brilliance will come through.

Even simply listening to it as sound is truly pleasant, and you’ll find yourself wanting to keep listening forever.
