For more than three
decades, Jean-Yves
Thibaudet has

and built a reputation as one of today’s
finest pianists. From the very start of
his career, he delighted in music beyond
the standard repertoire: from jazz to
opera, which he transcribed himself
to play on the piano. His profound
professional friendships crisscross the
globe and have led to spontaneous and
fruitful collaborations in film, fashion
and visual art.
