[5][6][7] Among Thibaudet’s collaborators in performances and recordings are soprano Renée Fleming; mezzo-sopranos Cecilia Bartoli and Angelika Kirchschlager; violist Yuri Bashmet; violinists Joshua Bell, Midori, Lisa Batiashvili, Janine Jansen and Julia Fischer; cellists Truls Mørk, Daniel Müller-Schott, and Gautier Capuçon; and the Rossetti String Quartet.
Thibaudet is well known for his interpretations of French classical music but has also made forays into the world of jazz, playing arrangements and transcriptions of improvisations on the CDs Conversations with Bill Evans (1997) and Reflections on Duke (1999).
[10] Thibaudet has also recorded compositions by composers including Addinsell, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, d'Indy, Grieg, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Messiaen, Claus Ogerman, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Satie, Schumann, and Richard Strauss.
[11] Thibaudet’s playing can be heard on the movie soundtracks of The French Dispatch,[12] The Portrait of a Lady, Pride & Prejudice, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,[13] Wakefield, and Atonement, the last of which earned an Academy Award for Best Original Score.
[10] The two became close friends, and their relationship persisted to the end of her life; their final collaboration was a posthumously-released vinyl reissue of Thibaudet's recording of Debussy's Préludes, with design by Westwood.
