Ravel with Les Siècles, François-Xavier Roth and Stéphane Degout (CD release)
May 2022... despite a plethora of other outstanding readings, here’s another game-changer. Tiberghien brings to the first movement [G major concerto] a sense of playful energy, flexibility and an acute awareness of colour....Tiberghien imbues the long solo-piano opening of the Adagio with such a confiding quality that you don’t want it to end… Beautifully recorded, this is headily seductive and has Award-winner written all over it. But don’t take my word for it – go and listen to it post-haste.

Schumann, Beethoven & Webern
Wigmore Hall, LondonFeb 2021…impressive recital, a thoughtful tapestry of piano variations... As it was I tiptoed away from the streamed wonderland of Wigmore Hall thankful anew for Tiberghien’s clear and essentially French art incisive, poetic, colourful, well tailored.

This terrific French pianist proves you don’t need to be a populist... I don’t know by what magic Tiberghien expressed the idea of a soul released from suffering, but in the last resigned moments of this beautiful piece, he managed it.
