Jean-Efflam Bavouzet Piano | in partnership with Piano+

“…he makes you listen to music as if you are discovering it “ – Financial Times.

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is one of the world’s foremost exponents of the music of both Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann. In this recital he performs iconic works by both composers in his much anticipated stop in Canberra.

The award-winning French pianist is celebrated as one of the greatest pianists of our time. Enjoying a prolific recording and international concert career, Bavouzet works regularly with The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra and the NHK Symphony Orchestra to name a few.

Recording exclusively for Chandos records, Bavouzet’s most recent release A Musical Tribute to Pierre Sancan with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under Yan Pascal Tortelier, won the Gramophone Editor’s Choice and Diapason d’Or awards – two of the most prestigious recording awards in the world. His complete Haydn Piano Sonatas series has been named a ‘modern benchmark’ by Gramophone and his The Beethoven Connection received unanimous critical acclaim from around the world including New York Times, BBC Music Magazine and Choc-Classica.

With his light touch and deep sensitivity, master pianist Bavouzet will bring to life some of the most evocative and poetic impressionist and romantic works for piano ever written.

“so polished that precious few of his colleagues could claim superiority” – Gramophone .
