After forays into Mozart concertos and Schumann solos, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is back with the latest volume of his magnificent survey of the Haydn keyboard sonatas – this is number eight, with two more to go. Considered Sir Georg Solti’s last discovery, the prolific 56-year-old Frenchman averages three new albums a year, and combined with his busy program of recitals and concerts he must barely get up from the piano stool.
