This is the first concerto recording by Jean-Efflam Bavouzet for Chandos. Following the tremendous success of his complete Debussy piano music edition (‘This could well be the finest and most challenging of all Debussy piano cycles’ - Bryce Morrison, Gramophone) - which scooped awards from both Gramophone and BBC Music - and the launch of his ambitious Haydn Piano Sonatas series, the pianist now turns his attention to some of the mightiest concertos of the twentieth century. The three Bartok Piano Concertos on a single CD represents superb value for money.
