Debussy : Complete Works for Piano

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet

Classical - Released October 1, 2012 | Chandos

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions Diapason d'or
Praised for his meticulous fidelity to the composer's intentions, as well as for his rich tonal palette and the warmth of his expressions, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet has won many admirers for his five albums of the complete solo piano music of Claude Debussy. These recordings were produced by Chandos between 2007 and 2009, and they have now been gathered into a handsome box set; each disc is presented with its own cardboard sleeve and the original liner notes that accompanied each release. The roster of artists who have recorded Debussy's keyboard music is a long and distinguished one, though Bavouzet is easily ranked in the upper echelons, equal in stature among such luminaries as Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Krystian Zimerman, Maurizio Pollini, Angela Hewitt, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, and Pascal Rogé. Experienced listeners will already have favorite recordings of the Préludes, Images, Estampes, and Études, as well as the perennially popular Suite bergamasque, Children's Corner, and other picturesque pieces. However, many will be won over by the consistency of Bavouzet's playing, and newcomers will find that his disciplined yet gorgeous readings are a great way to begin appreciating these charming classics. Chandos provides excellent sound that gives the piano a clear presence yet takes nothing away from Bavouzet's atmospheric colors or the radiant acoustics. Highly recommended.© TiVo

Debussy: Complete Works for Piano, Vol. 3

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet

Classical - Released May 1, 2008 | Chandos

Hi-Res
Another winner in Jean-Efflam Bavouzet's survey of Debussy's complete piano music for Chandos, Vol. 3 brings together sentimental favorites and nearly unknown works. On the one hand, there are Clair de Lune, Réverie, and Children's Corner, on the other, the extremely early (the composer was 18) Danse bohémienne and the extremely late (the composer died three years afterwards) Élégie. Perhaps surprisingly to those who recall his brilliantly austere Images from Vol. 1 and his blazingly virtuosic Préludes from Vol. 2, Bavouzet's interpretations of the sentimental favorites are lush-toned and warmhearted, with wonderfully sustained legato and tastefully discrete use of the sustaining pedal. Unsurprisingly, however, Bavouzet is totally under the skin of Debussy's music. His Children's Corner balances wry wit with deep affection, and his La plus que lente waltz balances dry irony and profound emotion. Though there are certainly other great recordings of Debussy's piano music from Gieseking through Rogé, Bavouzet's recordings surely belong in that company. Chandos' piano sound is rich and ringing, with plenty of detail and amazing presence.© TiVo

Debussy: Petite suite, Danses pour harpe et orchestre & Épigraphes antiques

Jean-François Paillard

Classical - Released January 1, 1969 | Warner Classics

Jean-François Paillard and his orchestra were the key to the success of Erato Records, representing a certain idea of French music from the 1950s to the 1970s. This student of Igor Markevitch quickly stood out by forming the orchestra bearing his name and by dedicating himself to a then little-known branch of French music from Lully to Debussy. His rigidity with regard to the rise of historically informed baroque music (period instruments, tuning fork, playing mode) rendered his approach obsolete, even though it opened the door to this revival, at least as far as the considered repertoire is concerned. Among Jean-François Paillard’s many recordings, this one holds a special place because it represents one of his very rare and cautious forays into the repertoire written at the beginning of the twentieth century.Recorded in 1970, this is a very smooth and lively version of the Petite Suite written by a young Debussy still immersed in his stays in Russia with Madame von Meck, Tchaikovsky's benefactress, in a diaphanous orchestration by Henri Büsser.This enjoyment was increased tenfold by a reunion with the great harpist Lily Laskine playing one of her favourite works, the Danses pour harpe et orchestre à cordes that Debussy composed at the request of Pleyel as a display of its instruments. As for Épigraphes antiques, this is one of Debussy’s last works, composed in 1914 for piano four hands, with the idea of a future orchestration. It was the conductor Ernest Ansermet who fulfilled this wish in 1932 with his delicate orchestration, followed forty years later by this version for strings alone, due to the talent of the transcriber and performer Jean-François Paillard. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Debussy: Complete Works for Piano, Vol. 1

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet

Classical - Released May 1, 2007 | Chandos

Hi-Res
Brilliantly played, charismatically interpreted, and superbly recorded, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet's disc coupling both Debussy's Books of Préludes has everything going for it. The last discovery of Georg Solti and protégé Pierre Boulez, Bavouzet has a huge technique, a variegated tone, and a commanding personality, and he plays these super virtuoso works without missing a note. Some might miss the poetry of Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir or the sensuality of La fille aux cheveux de lin, or the mystery of Canope or the whimsy of Hommage à S. Pickwick, Esq. P.P.M.P.C., but no one could complain that Ce qu'a vu le vent d'Ouest isn't breathtaking, La cathédrale engloutie isn't awe-inspiring, Les fées sont d'exquises danseuses isn't enchanting, and Feux d'artifice isn't intoxicating. With the encore of Les soirs illuminés par l'ardeur du charbon -- an ephemeral yet effecting work Debussy wrote for the charcoal dealer who kept him warm in frigid winter of 1916-1917 that came to light only in 2001 -- Bavouzet's disc becomes a necessary addition to any Debussy collection aspiring to completeness. Recorded in 2006 by Ralph Couzens in Potton Hall in Dunwich, Suffolk, using a Steinway Model D owned by S.E. Foster, these performances sound fresh and sonorous.© TiVo
