RecommendedJean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano)
BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda
Bavouzet relishes the high-octane energy of the outer movements of the first two concertos but through his imaginatively varied use of colour manages to avoid the trap of making Bartók's percussive... — More…

Kožená’s voice is a glory at the best of times, a coppery sunset of a tone that can send its glow across the whole sky. But if her voice is gigantic, one thing is bigger still, and it’s Bronfman’s... — More…
