By the time he was 20 years old, he had already received thirteen Second Prize awards, and was honored with thirteen First Prize awards.

Cauvin recorded his first CD when he was sixteen. A few years later, one of his concerts in Radio France Paris was recorded and released on the Déclic Label.

In 2005 he released his third CD “Bell’Italia”, containing pieces of the great Italian composers. His fourth album "N°4" was released in 2009 to great critical acclaim.

"He’s brimming with talent and youth, but he also has the sobriety to do justice to the correct expression of a work. Thibault Cauvin is completely in his element. He has proven himself, with surprising maturity, to be a virtuoso performer, eminently musical, gifted, in addition, with an eclectic ear." Los Angeles Times

"Technical perfection and musical expression fully developed are the distinctive features of this remarkable phenomenon: Thibault Cauvin." Robert Fontani / General Anzeiger

"I was fascinated, wondering where he’d take the music... Cauvin has a real depth of understanding of the music he plays. He’s a full-fledged star." Tom Kerstens

"Musically limitless, with intense bursts of feeling and a love of life that really comes across." Colin Cooper, Classical Guitar Magazine
