PIANO RECITAL
JEAN-YVES THIBAUDET
March 26, 2023
Overview
Celebrated pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet performs a solo recital dedicated to the subtle and moving creations of Claude Debussy. The French composer’s Préludes evoke the gorgeous colors and rich and expressive poetry of his artistic contemporaries. With miniature delights, including “Girl With the Flaxen Hair,” and “The Sunken Cathedral,” each prelude is a glimmering gem—catching the light and sparkling like a prism, then just as quickly, falling back into the shadows.
