Jean-Efflam Bavouzet

“Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s flexible virtuosity and innate grasp of Debussy’s style and sound world yields ravishing, freshly minted interpretations … ”
Gramophone

Award-winning French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet enjoys a prolific recording and international concert career. He regularly works with The Cleveland, San Francisco Symphony, BBC Symphony and London Philharmonic orchestras, NHK Symphony Orchestra, and collaborates with many renowned conductors across the world.

Bavouzet records exclusively for Chandos. His most recent release, A Musical Tribute to Pierre Sancan with BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under Yan Pascal Tortelier, won the Gramophone Editor’s Choice and Diapason d’Or awards. His complete Haydn Piano Sonatas series has been named a modern benchmark by Gramophone and his The Beethoven Connection received numerous accolades from magazines including the New York Times, BBC Music Magazine and Choc-Classica.

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is one of the world’s foremost exponents of the music of both Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann. In this recital he performs iconic works by both composers, including Claude Debussy’s Études, Book II and Children’s Corner and Robert Schumann’s Arabesque in C major, Op. 18

This exceptional pianist, with his radiant clarity, freshness and subtlety, brings us a recital to be treasured, performing in November 2024 at Snow Concert Hall in Canberra*, the Melbourne Recital Centre and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra Studio in Brisbane.

* Presented in partnership with Snow Concert Hall and their 2024 concert series.
