The solo piano music of Erik Satie is both classic and contemporary, facets which mirror the qualities of Jean-Yves Thibaudet, 'the quintessential contemporary French pianist'. This repertoire perfectly showcases Jean-Yves’ famous palette of sound colours in musical images ranging from 'The Dreamy Fish' to the enormously popular 'Gymnopédies'.
