"Performances of exquisite sensibilité, delivered with the most subtly varied, beautiful sound." Seen and Heard International
"He conveys the audacity and cunning virtuosity that must have characterised the proud young Beethoven's own piano-playing." Gramophone
"Bavouzet takes us into the realm of the sublime… a reading [of Beethoven] etched in empyrean majesty. It's high minded, lofty, inspiring, and ennobling…." Fanfare Magazine
