Debussy: Complete Works for Piano,Vol. 5
Bavouzet
"Bavouzet's survey of Debussy's piano music seemed to have come to a natural end with his outstanding disc of the two books of Images and the complete Studies, released by Chandos a year ago. But this collection of three scores that are far better known in their orchestral versions (though only the masterpiece Jeux was actually orchestrated by Debussy) is an unexpected and welcome bonus. In all three works, Bavouzet's exceptional control, variation of touch and keyboard colour regularly provide new insights, so that he conjures up the evasive, mutable world of Jeux in a way that seems almost as convincing as the composer's own exquisitely dappled scoring..."

"Here, it's a musical adventure for everyone, and Bavouzet has more than achieved what he set out to do. Anyone familiar with Debussy's shimmering orchestral colouration will recognise it translated into piano form, and anyone who isn't will find their imaginations filling in the blanks. Textural layering and instrumental colouring aside, the ballets' contrasting moods are perfectly captured..."

"We all thought we'd seen the end ofJean Efflam Bavouzet's glorious, re-defining Debussy traversal. And yet, here's a fifth volume. "This", he confessed at our Awards, "was a surprise to me as well!" If you've heard the others you'll know what to expect; if not, what are you waiting for?"
