5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, contemplative music, November 7, 2002
This review is from: Beautiful Starry Night: Thibaudet Plays Ravel (Audio CD)
If I had to pick the top ten CDs in my entire music collection, Beautiful Starry Night would have to be among them. This is truly a disc of excellence. It is not only beautiful (as the title says) but contemplative as well.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet was born to play this music. He has just the right touch of restraint to hold this complex and often meandering music together. At the same time, he allows himself to become absorbed and a part of it.

From the very first track, this disc amazes. Ravel has done a truly remarkable thing in writing Gaspard de la nuit -- he has captured the sound of the stars. Likewise, his Miroirs are the perfect audible representation of introspection and contemplation.

I know of no other piano album that can match this one for sheer beauty. I give Jean-Yves Thibaudet's Beautiful Starry Night my highest recommendation.
