Montreal-born Canadian baritone Gerald Finley has had the opportunity, over the course of his 35-year career, to sing at some of the world’s greatest opera houses, and to lend his voice to a raft of critically acclaimed recordings, including works by Maurice Ravel, whose Histoires naturelles he will perform at the Maison symphonique. Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet is not to be outdone. A native of Lyon, this specialist in the Romantic repertoire and French impressionist composers has enjoyed a brilliant concert career. He has also distinguished himself by performing arias with opera singers, most notably with Cecilia Bartoli.
