“… as pianists often comment, Haydn is a pleasure to play, and Bavouzet conveys his enjoyment in sparkling readings of “little” Sonatas Nos. 3 and 4…”

Isabel Herzfeld – Piano News (Germany) – July/August 2022

Gramophone Focus Haydn Piano Sonatas

“…You might imagine that by the time we reached Vol. 10 Bavouzet would be flagging a bit and that the music would be less than top-drawer Haydn, but not a bit of it – there are as many discoveries here as anywhere and the pianist’s conviction is apparent at every turn… His way with the out-and-out masterpiece that is the C major, HobXVI:50, is as brilliantly imaginative as you’d expect… But it’s in the earlier music, and the variations that the true revelations of this set lie …”

Harriet Smith – Gramophone magazine – April 2022

Recommended

“… As in previous volumes, Bavouzet mixes sonatas from various periods, backtracking 14 years earlier for Sonatas 3 and 4. So you experience the learning curve through which Haydn achieved his mature works. In Sonata 3, despite its relative simplicity, Bavouzet brings elegance and chipper, assertive bounce to the opening Allegro and you’ll relish his extra ornamentation in the repeat of the Scherzo’s final strain. In Sonata 4 his neatness and propriety in the opening movement is delightfully offset by the impropriety of repeats’ extra ornamentation, while the gentle beauty of his Minuet captivates counterpoising the martial bluster of its second phrase.”

Michael Greenhalgh – MusicWeb-International.com – 28 March 2022

Performance **** Recording *****

“… Bavouzet captures much of the essential ‘Papa Haydn’ style behind these works. Measured, lively, sparkling and beautifully phrased, his playing is unimpeachable… The recorded sound is top-notch, with sharp clarity and just the right amount of bloom.”

Jessica Duchen – BBC Music magazine – April 2022

Album of the Month

“… The delight of these recordings lies in Bavouzet’s pianism. His touch is wonderfully flexible, and in the Allegro movements his sound is bright, incisive and smart as a whip… he gives each work its own colouring; when Haydn is at his most economical, Bavouzet keeps the tension going so we hang on every note…”
