Legendary pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet returns to Decca with a new album to mark his 60th birthday. For this milestone, Thibaudet was given "Carte Blanche" to choose a very personal selection of music he has never recorded before - featuring new arrangements of the Barber Adagio and When You Wish Upon A Star, plus a new Pride & Prejudice suite. "These are pieces I love deeply. Some I've played for my whole life and each one reflects a special moment for me and has a story." - Jean-Yves Thibaudet
