PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN Jean-Efflam Bavouzets Einspielung der Klaviersonaten Beethovens auf CHANDOS wurde allenthalben als neue Referenzeinspielung gefeiert. Im Beethoven-Jahr 2020 hat er den Komponisten bereits mit einer vielbeachteten Einspielung herausragender Klaviersonaten von Zeitgenossen geehrt. Jetzt legt der Franzose nach und erfreut uns mit einer rundum gelungenen Gesamtaufnahme der Klavierkonzerte, die gleichermassen das Zeug zur neuen Referenz hat. Pluspunkte sind hier unter anderem die Doppelfunktion Bavouzets als Dirigent und Solist sowie die Verwendung der Beethovenschen Kadenzen aus dem Jahr 1809. Als Zugabe gibt es noch das Quintett Op.16 zu hören. Following his acclaimed recording of sonatas by contemporaries of Beethoven, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet further celebrates the great composers anniversary year with this set of the complete Piano Concertos. Electing to direct the Swedish Chamber Orchestra from the keyboard, Jean-Efflam writes: To play a concerto under a conductor who shares and enriches ones vision of the work concerned is one of the greatest joys in the life of a soloist. Nevertheless, one can also admit that some aspects of performing without a conductor may prove advantageous. Rehearsal time is generally speaking made longer by the process of working out the different protocol of gestures from the soloist and the leader in coordinating the ensemble playing. As this work proceeds a creative bond is forged, resulting in an artistic osmosis, a common vision of the work, in which compromise has no place. For the pianist there is also the delight of appearing face to face with the entire orchestra, in direct visual communication, the musicians perhaps more likely to take personal initiatives, thus multiplying the pleasure of a genuine participation, dialogue, and musical exchange. The cadenzas used in this recording are all Beethovens, from the set that he wrote out in 1809, and so are contemporaneous with the Fifth Concerto. The set includes the Quintet for Piano and Winds, Op. 16, and is recorded in Surround Sound.
