Krivine/ London Philharmonic Orchestra
Royal Festival Hall, 14th February 2020
Jean-Efflam Bavouzet has been immersed in the music of Maurice Ravel this week, touring the Left Hand Concerto with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, criss-crossing the country and sharing solo duties with Yeol Eum Son. I heard the latter play at Cadogan Hall on Monday, but eventually caught Bavouzet, who snuck away from the Icelanders for a Valentine’s one-night stand with the London Philharmonic. Playing the more familiar G major concerto, the Frenchman displayed all the flair and insouciance required for Ravel’s confection.
