Jean-Efflam Bavouzet DEBUSSY Complete Works for Piano, Volume 3

This is the third volume in Bavouzet’s complete series of the piano works by Debussy. The music now moves to a more playful strand in Debussy’s compositional career, with generally shorter pieces of the salon genre, including the two famous collections Children’s Corner and Suite bergamasque. In addition there are several rarities, including La plus que lente and Élégie. The previous two volumes have been very well received both critically and commercially. The LA Times wrote of Volume 2, ‘In what may turn out to be the greatest completed recorded survey of the composer’s piano music yet, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet… plays with such bracing clarity that hearing the early Romantic pieces, one feels like jumping into an icy pond after an hour in the sauna’.
