Jean-Yves Thibaudet at Tanglewood

French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet leans deep into Debussy and Ravel, the men and their music, in a free-ranging discussion with Charlotte Wilson that touches on Impressionism, art, his study with Ravel student Lucette Descaves, life in Los Angeles, the Thibaudet scholarship at the Colborn School where he is resident and finally, the gloriously colorful Khachaturian piano concerto he is performing at Tanglewood on Saturday

Jean-Yves Thibaudet performs Khachaturian with Andris Nelsons and the Boston SO: 8pm at the Music Shed, Saturday July 27

Charlotte Wilson has been immersed in classical music all her life. Her parents were great music lovers, always had something playing on the radio or turntable, and she began on recorder and then piano before she can remember. Charlotte originally wanted to be a concert pianist but just didn’t quite have it, no matter how hard she practiced! She tried many other instruments slightly too late (violin, cello, clarinet) before discovering radio. Charlotte can be heard from 4-8pm weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays.
