PORTRAIT of a RECORDING ARTIST

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 (heard on the album at right) or even Debussy’s all too familiar Clair de lune and gradually soak in the rest of the repertoire…BUY THE CD
 

… 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.
