The Chopin Touch - With Jean-Yves Thibaudet

If you would like to purchase the full DVD of this clip please visit www.playbackhd.tv

A great composer explored and celebrated by a modern day virtuoso.

These aspects are explored through the eyes of Jean-Yves Thibaudet as he rediscovers the music playing Chopins own piano a restored Broadwood, now in a National Trust Collection in England.

Jean-Yves talks about his own background in the French tradition and the lifelong process of reinventing music for a contemporary generation. He also goes to locations in Paris where Chopin lived, worked and died. The music is recorded in the elegant surroundings of the Music Room at Hatchlands House near London. The programme features many of Chopins most famous and greatest pieces from the Raindrop Prelude to the Revolutionary Etude.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet was born in Lyon in 1961 and began to play the piano at the age of five, making his first public appearance aged seven. At twelve he graduated from the Lyon Conservatoire under Lucille Descaves and Aldo Ciccolini.

I think Chopin is very pleased that his compositions are being kept alive on his piano by modern players. He wrote from the heart and one of the most romantic composers that existed his music is timeless and it is very endearing to see Jean Yves perform on Chopin;s piano ...he is certainly blessed
