Bavouzet reveals himself a Mozartian every bit as mercurially imaginative and technically audacious as he already has been In the piano music of Haydn…The collaborative vigour of the concerto readings proves still more attractive. Particularly in the finales, buoyancy and moments of relaxation are balanced in a way that brought smiles of pleasure to this listener’s face.

The E Flat Major, K449, is especially ebullient, its zest bubbling up from sparkling finger- work, but the F Major, K459, is hardly less inspiring. Gábor Takács-Nagy and the lively Manchester Camerata add a couple of frothy early divertimentos.

Bavouzet enjoys the pomp of the piano’s first entry in the opening movement of K449 but also its inward qualities, some of the most memorable moments comings when he is accompanying the orchestra. Highlights are too many to list but the solemn slow movement is certainly one of them.

The well-known K459 is sprightly and fresh, with delightful give and take between orchestra and soloist. The finale scampers wonderfully in one of the best performances available; Mozart’s cadenza is brilliantly done.

Both concertos receive lively, stylish performances here.

Bavouzet’s sprightly and incisive playing brings out all the detail, with tiny nuances that bring the lines to life...More soon, I hope.
