Thibaudet is always poetically refined and plays with delicacy and colour. He is immaculately controlled in Grainger's wonderful Ramble on the Last Love Duet from Der Rosenkavalier, while in music of greater lyrical simplicity he is suave and knowing.

…rarely has a pianist sounded so in love with his chosen repertoire. Wherever you turn you will hear playing of a princely lustre and virtuosity, and old-style pianism shot through with a wholly modern gloss and precision. Recorded in suitably sumptuous and opulent sound, this recital makes it abundantly clear why Thibaudet was very much the apple of Horowitz's eye.
