“ … Production values are the usual high Chandos standards Bavouzet puts as good a case for the concertante works as possible. He has demonstrated his significant talents across a remarkable range of eras and styles – from Haydn to Bartók – and here on home ground, he doesn’t put a foot wrong ...”

David Barker – MusicWeb-International.com - October 2015

“... The BBC Philharmonic, under the leadership of Juanjo Mena, performs Pierné’s music in a manner that any French orchestra would envy, and Chandos’s fabled sound lives up to its reputation. This release should go a long towards putting Pierné back in the mainstream of composers ... Duly recommended”

Jerry Dubins Fanfare March/April 2016

Performance **** Recording ****

“Half a decade separates the first and second volumes of Pierné’s orchestral works from Juanjo Mena and the BBC Philharmonic, but it is worth the wait The highlight and revelation of the disc is the suite Paysages franciscains from 1919 The solo Nocturne is sublime in Bavouzet’s hands and the Etude de concert makes an enjoyably virtuosic conclusion.”

Christopher Dingle – BBC Music magazine – December 2015

“ ...dynamic performances by Jean-Efflam Bavouzet and the BBC Philharmonic ”

Geoffrey Norris – Gramophone magazine – October 2015

“… beautifully rendered by Juanjo Mena and the BBC Philharmonic, while Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is not only a dazzling soloist in the three concertante works, but adds two solo-piano pieces, the Nocturne en Forme de Valse and a concert study, for good measure.”
