Thibaudet: Aria: Opera Without Words (CD)
Jean Yves Thibaudet brings a lifelong passion for opera to his new CD of irresistible operatic
melodies: Aria - Opera Without Words, an album that combines the intimacy of the piano
recital with the drama and romance of the opera house. Following the huge success of his recording
of the complete solo piano music of Erik Satie, this new album is a very personal collection of
timeless classics and new transcriptions - including several by Thibaudet himself. Aria - Opera
Without Words includes arrangements of many of the best-loved arias of opera including
Puccini's "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca and "O mio babbino caro" from Gianni Schicchi, and the
sparkling "Jewel Song" from Gounod`s Faust. Thibaudet even provides a thrilling portrait of
Wagner's mighty "Ride of the Valkyries." These performances are not just arrangements of popular
classics, they are also piano works in their own right.
