One of the best-selling pianists of our time, and a frequent visitor to Australia, JEAN-YVES THIBAUDET returns with his brilliant all-Gershwin disc, including the famous "Rhapsody in Blue"Jean-Yves Thibaudet, one of the most charismatic and technically prodigious pianists performing today, puts his stamp on two of Gershwin's masterpieces - the Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in F. The album combines these beloved standards with the lesser known, witty yet captivating, Variations on "I Got Rhythm", creating Jean-Yves's most commercial album of recent years. Uniquely, both major works are presented in their 'jazz band' orchestrations, created by legendary composer/arranger Ferde Grofe for the equally celebrated Paul Whiteman Band. Under the energizing baton of Marin Alsop's (herself a famous exponent of Gershwin ) Jean-Yves Thibaudet, accompanied by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, turns in thrilling, jazz-inspired interpretations from these live concert performances.
