[Bavouzet] captures the spirit of these disparate works...The São Paulo Symphony Orchestra under Yan Pascal Tortelier proves a remarkably deft partner, matching so that the numerous accents, twists and turns of the music occur as if the orchestra were an extension of Bavouzet's piano...there is much to admire and these pieces work well together.

Bavouzet is sprightly and concentrated in ‘Concerto’ and ‘Movements’, giving them a rhythmic lift.

From the moment [Jean-Efflam Bavouzet] bolts into the Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, you sense that his new recording of Stravinsky's three works for piano and orchestra is going to be a major addition to his discography. These are up-tempo performances, notable for their rapier accents, blazing colours [and] tightly sprung rhythms…the Sao Paulo orchestra, under Yan Pascal Tortelier responds dazzlingly.

An irresistible package.

Bavouzet, who won a 2014 Gramophone award for his Prokofiev concertos, brings energy and precision to this repertoire, whether in the serialism of Movements or the majestic, extrovert flair of Pétrouchka. It’s hard to imagine better.

This exciting Stravinsky sequence juxtaposes two haunting neoclassical masterpieces with his stylistically far-removed late serial Movements...the fast movements sizzle.

There’s a bright shriek from the brass, and athletic clatter from the piano: Stravinsky’s 1924 concerto for piano and wind instruments is off and away. So is this scintillating new album from Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, the French pianist who always leaves the listener refreshed.

Best of all is the late 'Movements', which has never sounded less dry and more enticing. Superb recorded sound.
