The album will be released in the fall of 2012. Khachaturian's Piano Concerto in D-flat major is a rarely recorded concerto. It is coupled with Khachaturian's short solo piano works, including the popular "Adagio" from "Spartacus," the "Sword Dance" and "Lullaby" from "Gaïne," the "Masked Ball" suite, and a selection from "The Boyhood Picture Book.Thibaudet is still actively performing works that were once dominated by virtuosos such as William Capell (1922-1953) and Oscar Levant (1906-1972). In 1945, Decca made the world's first recording of Khachaturian's piano concerto, performed by the English pianist Maura Limpany. The concerto was performed by the pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, whose passion was the driving force behind the performance. Thibaudet had a perfect grasp of the score and deftly handled the ultimate in flamboyant power and light-hearted meditation."--The Los Angeles Times (UNIVERSAL MUSIC/IMS)
