Critic reviews

  • “Bavouzet immerses us fully in [Le gibet’s] heavy mood. And, beyond the virtuosity we can take for granted, that’s Bavouzet’s trump card: his playing is so full of vivid character, whether conjuring impressionistic pictures or drawing out abstract musical qualities.”

    BBC Music Magazine, Instrumental choice, June 2025

  • “…Bavouzet generates palpable tension and release by paying heed to Ravel’s scrupulous expressive directives… Bavouzet’s seasoned mastery, stylish perception and caring commitment to this repertoire is never in doubt.”

    Gramophone, Editor’s choice, May 2025

  • “Marking Ravel’s 150th anniversary, Bavouzet returns with a complete set on a modern Yamaha, trading his vintage Steinway’s patina for daylight.”

    Gramophone, Critic’s choice 2025, December 2025

  • “…interpretive mastery… encouraging the music to flow naturally, is one of his strengths… it’s a reading more nuanced than aggressive, distinctively contrasting the bacchanalian crudity and gratuitous ecstasy that’s become the vogue.”

    International Piano, Critic’s choice, June 2025
