Narrative:

Had just flown in from ZZZ1. Weather on approach was mod turbulence from 10;000ft to ground; with strong crosswind component and +/- 15kts on final at low altitude. It was a very challenging approach. Departed ZZZ2 runway 1. During initial climb felt unusual vibration. #1 N1 vib showed 2.4; all others were normal. Continued climb in IMC while we tried to identify source of vibration. Somewhere between 3000 and 6000 ft heard several loud bangs; which sounded like compressor stalls. Brought #1 engine to idle. Compressor stalls stopped. First officer assigned as flying pilot. Used QRH to research and deal with situation. Qrh directed us to land at nearest suitable airport. We were within 20 miles of ZZZ. Were in communication with dispatch via ACARS. When I told them I would not land at ZZZ2; they asked me to go to ZZZ1. I later found out that moc wanted the airplane where there was maintenance. Big crosswinds; with turbulence and windshear at all northeast airports. We elected to land 33L at ZZZ (strong winds; but at least down the runway and nearest). Told ATC the nature of our problem and declared emergency. During initial approach got eng 1 oil filter clog ECAM. While researching this problem and monitoring engine page; I noticed #1 oil qty was decreasing. In a few minutes we got eng 1 low oil pressure ECAM; and shut down eng 1 as per ECAM procedure. Followed up with QRH. Updated ATC on engine shutdown. I briefed flight attendants to prepare for a normal landing. I then made an announcement telling passengers that we had an engine shutdown; that we were landing at ZZZ; that it would be a normal landing and that the fire trucks would be there as a precaution. I assumed pilot flying duties; made a coupled ILS approach to runway 33L at ZZZ. When we switched to tower; they told us there were windshear on final; with gains and losses of 15kts. This is the same as all other northeast airports; and was down the runway; so we elected to land. Landed config 3; med auto brakes. FMGC provided a healthy ground speed mini buffer. Encountered slight airspeed fluctuations on short final; but nothing I would call a shear. Disconnected autopilot at 200ft AGL and made a normal landing and taxied to gate. Post flight inspection of engine revealed no apparent damage except for a small puddle of liquid; about 4' by 2' in the #1 tailpipe. The first officer was low time on the airplane. It was his second trip after IOE. He did an excellent job of handling the flying and ATC while we worked through the procedures together. Appears to be an internal failure of #1 engine.
