He is known as the Champion
of the French Impressionists.
And not without reason: he is after all French and he has played the music of
Ravel and Debussy since he was a little boy. And if you think you don't care
much for either, you only have to listen to Jean-Yves play their music to turn
you around. Start with Ravel's Pavane pour une infante défunte which is
what you're hearing now, or even Debussy's all too familiar Clair de lune and
gradually soak in the rest of the repertoire...

... and experience the fusion of visual and aural imagery. If you could hear
the shimmer in the waters of Monet's landscapes, or Seurat's scintillating points
of light on a Sunday afternoon, or the swirling of the stars in Van Gogh'sStarry
Night this is how it would all sound!

Better yet, if you can swing it, hear and see him play the music live - the
warm but crystalline sounds he coaxes out of the keyboard with his customary
elegance make for an impressionist experience like no other. - © FanFaire
