Remarks:

"As Jean-Efflam Bavouzet explains in his helpful booklet essay, while La boite a joujoux's keyboard version easily stands on its own, the piano scores for Khamma and Jeux range between thinly utilitarian to literally unplayable. For this reason Bavouzet prepared his own editions that brilliantly merge orchestral intention with pianistic viability, as well as correcting note errors in the original printed editions. More importantly, Bavouzet plays them stunningly…The engineering counts among this cycle's best, which is to say it's as top-of-the-line as Bavouzet's artistry. This is an unusual and valuable capper to one of the two or three greatest Debussy piano cycles on disc - not to be missed." - Classics Today (10/10)

Reviews

Great Composition and Excellent Performance
I am an amateur classical music listener, but am a huge fan of piano. This CD is absolutely wonderful. The production quality is fantastic, and Bavouzet truly knows how to make every range of the piano sing with life. This composition is filled with a roller coaster ride of emotions, and I truly enjoyed the ride.
