Gershwin Rhapsody, the first collaborative recording from acclaimed concert pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Michael Feinstein, the one-man encyclopaedia of the Great American Songbook, will be released digitally and as a CD on February 23rd, 2024 via Decca Classics. The album features duos, solos, and vocals from the Gershwin catalogue, from Rhapsody in Blue—whose world premiere 100 years ago this month opened a new chapter in musical history—to world premiere recordings of four Gershwin piano works. 

For the past year, Thibaudet and Feinstein toured a program called “Two Pianos: Who Could Ask for Anything More?”. Devised over two years by the artists after an initial conversation at Festival Napa Valley, “Two Pianos: Who Could Ask for Anything More?” features music that straddles classical composition and popular song, including works by Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, and more—all presented in a flexible format ranging from duo shows for two unaccompanied pianos to concerts with full-scale orchestra. “Two Pianos: Who Could Ask for Anything More?” has earned accolades from The New York Times and been performed all over the United States—including a recent performance at Carnegie Hall, where the two artists were joined by special guest Joshua Henry.

    Posted At: March 7, 2024
    THE CLASSIC REVIEW's Azusa Ueno writes…..This Gershwin collaboration between Thibaudet and singer-pianist Michael Feinstein is both innovative and intriguing. Thibaudet’s previous album, which we reviewed in 2021, hinted at his affinity for jazz and film genres. Meanwhile, Feinstein’s encounter with Ira Gershwin in 1977 led to an unexpected opportunity: cataloging the legendary composer’s phonograph records...
