The stellar career of French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet includes frequent performances on all of the great concert platforms of the world, in concert with the world’s finest orchestras and in recital in the most prestigious festivals. Known for his elegantly stylish interpretations which float on a seemingly effortless technical command, Thibaudet is one of those rare pianists who can find the soul of Liszt beneath the sheen of virtuosic challenge. A passionate believer in the music of Edward Elgar, Edo de Waart follows his memorable performances of the Enigma Variations and the First Symphony with the heartfelt Second Symphony, written in memory of the king indelibly associated with Elgar’s music – Edward VII.
