Listening to this piece is a pleasant way to spend an hour. It features pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet performing selections by composers Robert Schumann and Maurice Ravel from Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The live recording has that ?take you there? quality although I could strangle the man in the audience with the cough. The performances are broken up with commentary by Renee Montagne and actualities of Thibaudet explaining his interpretations. It?s just enough information to give those who know little about classical music (like me) an appreciation of what the composer and performer are trying to achieve with their music.
