“this is among the finest accounts [of the Variations] on disc: searchingly nuanced from moment to moment yet never losing its grip on the work's tragic progress. Bavouzet's readings of the three selected Sonatas in this latest instalment of his ongoing series are all equally illuminating in different ways.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2012 *****

“Quite apart from his stylistic command and sheer delight in the music, Bavouzet’s mixing and matching of different periods in the composer’s awe-inspiring pianistic development ensures there is never a dull moment.” --Financial Times, 8th September 2012 ****
“This continuing series is turning into a real classic: Jean-Efflam Bavouzet has an infectious sense of the witty fun that underlies so many of Haydn's inventions, and the finale of the D major Sonata No 30 fairly fizzes with joy. But the real discovery here is a new version of the wonderful, touching Variations in F minor.” --The Observer, 16th September 2012
“With his Yamaha piano, Bavouzet’s crisp articulation — a constant delight — seeks to emulate the plucked action of the harpsichord, but he brings a singing legato line to Haydn’s melodies.” --Sunday Times, 16th September 2012
