About
The wonderful French pianist Cédric Tiberghien has made several admired recital and chamber recordings. Now he joins the impressive roster of pianists who have contributed to Hyperion’s Romantic Piano Concerto series with Volume 60: Théodore Dubois. Three works by this French composer are included here, and they present a captivating panorama of the evolution of Dubois’ style over some forty years: the Concerto-capriccioso of 1876 seems like a preliminary study in the style of such composers as Weber and Mendelssohn, whereas the highly Romantic Concerto in F minor (1897) is reminiscent of Saint-Saëns. The completely unknown Suite for piano and strings (1917), for its part, resembles a neoclassical pastiche.

Awards and reviews
4th October 2013
Through all these thickets and lyrical episodes Cédric Tiberghien strides with great refinement and energy...The performances throughout, from soloist and accompanists alike, are warm, elegant and committed...I can’t proclaim any of these three piano works to be a marvel of invention, but they’re all engaging and contain some delightful features.
18th August 2013
[Dubois's] music – beautifully crafted, highly tuneful and harmonically daring – gains a new stature here in the mercurial hands of Cédric Tiberghien and Andrew Manze.
28th June 2013
Piano Concerto No 2 of 1898 won’t give you great tunes or high drama but it’s attractive...The best of the three exhibits is the lighter and sprightly Suite...Vigorously supported...Tiberghien plays as though he loves every dancing note.
