Our Take

Jean-Yves Thibaudet's latest offering, "Carte Blanche," is like a gourmet meal served on a paper plate. This pianist extraordinaire takes us on a musical journey through a diverse range of genres, from classical to jazz to pop, all with his signature flair and panache.

The album opens with an explosive rendition of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, showcasing Thibaudet's virtuosity and technical mastery. He effortlessly transitions to Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," infusing the iconic piece with his own unique charm and personality.

But just when you think you've got Thibaudet all figured out, he throws a curveball with his hauntingly beautiful interpretation of Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place." The juxtaposition of classical and contemporary is both jarring and exhilarating, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats.

Throughout "Carte Blanche," Thibaudet's playing is impeccable, his emotion palpable, and his musicality undeniable. However, at times, it feels like he's playing it a bit safe, sticking to the well-trodden paths of familiar classics rather than truly pushing the boundaries of his artistry.

Overall, "Carte Blanche" is a delightful romp through the mind of a musical genius, showcasing Thibaudet's versatility and charm. While it may not be his most groundbreaking work, it is certainly a joy to listen to, and a testament to his enduring talent.
