Choc de l’année 2008 Monde de la Musique Magazine

Review for the Debussy series CHAN 10421, 10467, 10443, 10497 & 10545

"Debussy playing does not come any better than this, and anyone starting to collect this excellent Chandos series need not really look any further. The CDs are available separately each in turn was given a ’Gramophone Award"

The Penguin Guide – 1000 Greatest Classical Recordings 2011-12

"… this penultimate volume featuring a masterly account of Suite Bergamasque and one of the finest Children’s Corners ever recorded "

The Pianist

Best Instrumental Recording 2009

"He has also reached his third offering and this delightful disc places Debussy’s two most modest cycles within a broadly chronological sequence of pieces spanning the composer’s career. As such it would make an excellent introduction both to the essentials of Debussy’s piano writing and the extraordinary evolution in style. Bavouzet is an engaging guide on this journey."

BBC Music Magazine

"Regardless of style or pianistic requirements, Bavouzet is equally in charge of all dimensions of Debussy’s music. His acute sense of proportion covers both the rhythmic and dynamic spheres; in the Arabesque No. 1, for example, his subtle rubato shapes the flow of the piece most affectionately without ever becoming mannered. He adopts a different approach for the early danse bohémienne and Mazurka, delivering both with crisp vitality and winsome charm."

International Record Review

"Popular Debussy rubs shoulders with the unfamiliar in refined, intimate and richly rewarding readings."

Classic FM Magazine

"... This third volume confirms Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s winning affinity for Debussy’s music."

The Telegraph

Once more he turns the conventional notions of ‘impressionism’ topsy-turvy, cleansing Debussy of years of dust and accretion and recreating him in every bar in a sparkling and pristine light. Fiercely energised yet superfine, his performances are not for those woth comfortable drawing-room notions of Debussy, and rarely in my experience has a pianist so faultlessly or precisely achieved his aims.

Gramophone magazine

"One would expect a work like Claire de Lune to be just about perfect in the hands of such a skilled and sensitive pianist, but for him to give the same attention to the other three less familiar movements of the Suite Bergamasque places this performance among the best one could ever hope for. The same holds true for Children’s Corner, most definitely on a par with my favourite old Michelangeli recording ..."
