Haydn: The Complete Piano Sonatas, Vol. 11 / Bavouzet
"Bavouzetâs Haydn is unmatched in its zest and its wit. But it is also substantial, informed and deeply rewarding."
--The New York Times on Bavouzet's Haydn Sonatas cycle, 2022
Jean-Efflam Bavouzetâs survey of Haydnâs piano sonatas reaches its conclusion with this 11th and final volume. As with the previous releases, the acclaimed pianist has included repertoire from different periods of Haydnâs career to create a recital of interest in its own right, as well as the completion of the series.
Jean-Efflam notes: âIt has been eleven years since the launch of this project to present Haydnâs sonatas, not in their chronological order, but as collections juxtaposing works from different periods. The program for this final album was actually the first one to be devised: I wanted to place side by side the very first and the very last sonata. Then the idea of fleshing out the sonata cycle with other major pieces began at volume four, with the addition of the famous Variations in F minor, and finally this last volume is made up of as many sonatas as other types of works. The complete series is thus able to offer music lovers all the sonatas identified to date, together with the other major keyboard works.â

A project that began in 2011 is completed; what a journey it has been. Bavouzetâs gifts of insightful exposition and revelation are matched by the wisdom of his curation⊠A triumph. --The Sunday Times (Dan Cairns)
