“... These performances seemed immediately communicative; immediately right. Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic admirably second the sensitivity and strength of the soloist."
- FanFare
This recording is the first concerto project for Jean-Efflam Bavouzet on Chandos. Following the tremendous success of his complete Debussy edition – which scooped awards from both Gramophone and BBC Music – and the launch of his ambitious Haydn series, Bavouzet now turns his attention to Bartok and some of the most challenging concertos of the twentieth century. The First Concerto, written in 1926, has a distinctive percussive style. The Second Concerto was first performed in 1933 and is more melodically orientated; interestingly, the strings are silent throughout the first movement. The Third Concerto was written in 1945, towards the end of the composer’s life, and is much more restrained than the previous concertos, being light, airy, and almost neoclassical in style. Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is superbly accompanied by the BBC Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda.
