Jean-Yves Thibaudet

Jean-Yves Thibaudet (lahir 7 September 1961) adalah seorang pianis Perancis. Thibaudet lahir di Lyon, Prancis, dari orang tua musikal non-profesional. Ayahnya memainkan biola, dan ibunya, yang berasal dari Jerman dan juga seorang pianis yang ulung, memperkenalkan instrumen tersebut kepadanya. Thibaudet memasuki Conservatoire de Lyon pada usia lima tahun dan mulai belajar piano. Dia membuat penampilan publik pertamanya pada usia tujuh tahun. Dia memenangkan medali emas di Conservatoire ketika dia berusia dua belas tahun dan kemudian memasuki Conservatoire de Paris, tempat dia belajar dengan Aldo Ciccolini dan Lucette Descaves. Tiga tahun kemudian, dia memenangkan Premier Prix du Conservatoire dan pada usia delapan belas tahun, memenangkan Audisi Artis Konser Muda di New York. Thibaudet telah tampil dengan sebagian besar orkestra terkemuka dunia termasuk Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Orchester de Paris, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra dan Los Angeles Philharmonic. Dia juga muncul di gedung konser besar di Eropa, Amerika Utara dan Asia. Pada tahun 2010, ia dilantik ke dalam Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. Thibaudet juga mendapat kehormatan menjadi Artist-in-Residence pertama di Boston Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra dan Colburn School di Los Angeles. Di antara kolaborator Thibaudet dalam pertunjukan dan rekaman adalah soprano Renée Fleming; mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli dan Angelika Kirchschlager; pemain biola Yuri Bashmet; pemain biola Joshua Bell, Midori, Lisa Batiashvili, Janine Jansen dan Julia Fischer; pemain cello Truls Mørk, Daniel Müller-Schott, dan Gautier Capuçon; dan Kuartet Rentetan Rossetti. Dia juga memesan konser piano dari James MacMillan, yang ditayangkan perdana bersama Minnesota Orchestra pada tahun 2011. Khususnya, rekaman Liszt oleh Thibaudet mendapat pujian yang jarang dari Vladimir Horowitz yang hebat, yang berkata, "Sungguh menakjubkan, ketangkasan, teknik, artikulasi, perintah seperti itu." Thibaudet telah membuat lebih dari 50 rekaman, sebagian besar untuk label Inggris Decca Records. Dia membuat satu set kotak berisi semua karya lengkap Erik Satie untuk piano solo, yang dirilis pada ulang tahun ke-150 sang komposer. Thibaudet terkenal karena interpretasinya terhadap musik klasik Prancis tetapi juga terjun ke dunia jazz, memainkan aransemen dan transkripsi improvisasi pada CD Conversations with Bill Evans (1997) dan Reflections on Duke (1999). Thibaudet juga dikenal karena rekaman transkripsi operanya. Pada tahun 1993, ia merekam aransemen cuplikan opera karya Franz Liszt dan Busoni. Pada tahun 2007, Thibaudet merilis CD berjudul Aria: Opera Tanpa Kata, di mana dia memilih beberapa aria dan tawaran favoritnya, termasuk beberapa transkripsinya sendiri dan transkripsi Yvar Mikhashoff. Dia telah merekam disk Piano Concertos Nos 2 dan 5 oleh Camille Saint-Saëns (bersama Dutoit dan Orchester de la Suisse Romande, dirilis pada Oktober 2007), dan disk karya Gershwin untuk piano dan orkestra dalam aransemen Grofé (dirilis Maret 2010). ...

Jean-Yves Thibaudet (born 7 September 1961) is a French pianist. Thibaudet was born in Lyon, France, to non-professional musical parents. His father played the violin, and his mother, of German origin and a somewhat accomplished pianist herself, introduced the instrument to him. Thibaudet entered the Conservatoire de Lyon at the age of five and began studying the piano. He made his first public appearance at the age of seven. He won a gold medal at the Conservatoire when he was twelve and subsequently entered the Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied with Aldo Ciccolini and Lucette Descaves. Three years later, he won the Premier Prix du Conservatoire and at the age of eighteen, won the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York. Thibaudet has performed with most of the world's leading orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Orchestre de Paris, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He has also appeared in the major concert halls of Europe, North America and Asia. In 2010, he was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. Thibaudet also holds the honor of being the first ever Artist-in-Residence at the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra and the Colburn School in Los Angeles. Among Thibaudet’s collaborators in performances and recordings are soprano Renée Fleming; mezzo-sopranos Cecilia Bartoli and Angelika Kirchschlager; violist Yuri Bashmet; violinists Joshua Bell, Midori, Lisa Batiashvili, Janine Jansen and Julia Fischer; cellists Truls Mørk, Daniel Müller-Schott, and Gautier Capuçon; and the Rossetti String Quartet. He also commissioned a piano concerto from James MacMillan, which he premiered with the Minnesota Orchestra in 2011. Notably, Thibaudet's recording of Liszt drew rare praise from the great Vladimir Horowitz, who remarked, “It was amazing, such dexterity, such technique, such articulation, such command.” Thibaudet has made more than 50 recordings, most for the British label Decca Records. He made a box set of all of Erik Satie's complete works for solo piano, released on the composer's 150th birthday. Thibaudet is well known for his interpretations of French classical music but has also made forays into the world of jazz, playing arrangements and transcriptions of improvisations on the CDs Conversations with Bill Evans (1997) and Reflections on Duke (1999). Thibaudet is also known for his recordings of opera transcriptions. In 1993, he recorded arrangements of extracts from operas by Franz Liszt and Busoni. In 2007, Thibaudet released a CD entitled Aria: Opera Without Words, in which he selected several of his favorite arias and overtures, including some of his own transcriptions and those of Yvar Mikhashoff. He has since recorded a disc of Piano Concertos Nos 2 and 5 by Camille Saint-Saëns (with Dutoit and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, released in October 2007), and a disc of Gershwin works for piano and orchestra in Grofé's arrangements (released March 2010). ...
