As a regular recitalist at London’s Wigmore Hall and as a soloist with the London and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, French pianist Cédric Tiberghien is noted for his sensitive, versatile musicality as well as his innovative and engaging programming.

His multiple talents are on display in this inventive, witty recital that stages the two halves of a conversation and increasingly delighted banter between compositional voices. Tiberghien’s first half juxtaposes movements from Maurice Ravel’s 1917 Le tombeau de Couperin with the music of Couperin himself. Ravel shared Couperin’s flair for wry titles and sparkling musical humour. The second half introduces new protagonists: Claude Debussy, Jean-Philippe Rameau and contemporary British composer Julian Anderson.
