Jean-Efflam Bavouzet DEBUSSY Complete Works for Piano, Volume 4

Here Jean-Efflam Bavouzet presents his fourth volume of Debussy’s piano music, which comprises the Images Series 1 and 2 and the twelve Études Books 1 and 2. Comments for previous releases in the series include, ‘Bavouzet commands all the shading, nuance and timbral sensitivity one expects in Debussy, together with virtuoso flair and characterful spontaneity’ (Gramophone) and ‘…there is a balance of clarity and lyricism that immediately distinguish the pianist’s work’ (International Piano). This is a very personal project for Bavouzet who comments, ‘Debussy compels us to listen to his music in a very private, intense and nearly religious manner’. Volume 2 of this series has just been voted Record of the Year by Diapason d’Or magazine in France.
