About

The highly acclaimed series of Haydn’s complete piano sonatas with multi-award winning pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet has now reached Volume 6.

This set opens with the most imposing of Haydn’s early sonatas, No. 11, and follows it with two lesser-known ones, both from the late 1770s, that were published without the composer’s approval: Nos 34 and 35. Each of Nos 36 and 43, the last two featured here, opens a new group of six sonatas, and a new world in Haydn’s compositional style. Future volumes will continue to explore the huge variety of style and expression found in Haydn’s sonatas. As usual, the pianist conveys his personal views in the booklet notes, praising ‘the generally very short phrases typical of Haydn, the abundant touches of humour, the surprises, the embellishments’, and adding: ‘The five sonatas in this programme are not among the most well known. But what treasures they conceal!... I am delighted to dedicate this disc to Professor Ernő Nemecz with whom I have shared a love for Haydn’s music for thirty-five years.’

Reviews

July 2017

Under Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s supple fingers, [Sonata No. 11] proves a delight. By subtle shading of dynamics, minutely varying the rhythmic pacing and adding spritely touches of decoration to repeat sections, he reveals the piece to be packed with bright invention, with a touch of gravity in its slow movement

June 2017

He has [promoted Haydn] at a level of technical perfection allied to insight, rigorous intellectual curiosity and the probing instincts of a distinguished performer that have never been brought to bear so acutely and consistently on this part of Haydn’s activity...wonderfully clean as his playing is, there is always warmth and a host of qualities that make his fingers sing and speak and entertain the way they do.

September 2017

The disc highlight is the magical Adagio of No 34, almost experimental in its use of register and silence, Bavouzet interpolates an effective mini-cadenza into the chirpy finale of No 36. Throughout, he adds effective ornaments in the repeats. Superb in all respects.

Pianist Magazine August 2017

The magnificently offbeat, eccentric opening movement of No. 11 sets the tone for 83 minutes of untrammelled delight. Reliably but ingeniously, Bavouzet finds something new to say in the repeats: no mere vocal- imitation trills but ornamentation and mini- cadenzas which honour Haydn’s own spirit of invention of the evolving keyboard instruments of his time.

Classical Music September 2017

The disc highlight is the magical Adagio of No 34, experimental in its use of register and silence. Bavouzet interpolates an effective mini- cadenza into the chirpy finale of No 36. Throughout, he adds effective ornaments in the repeats. Superb in all respects.

His is a personal approach to Haydn yet it never stands in the way of the composer’s intention.
