Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano) performs music by Beethoven, Ravel and Debussy.

Kate Molleson presents Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano) in concert at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh. Beethoven: Piano Sonata in A, Op 101. Ravel: Miroirs. Debussy: L'Isle joyeuse.

The New Town Concerts were set up in 1965 to counteract the '49 weeks of darkness' between annual Edinburgh International Festivals. Today's recital is by multi-award winning pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet and is presented by Kate Molleson. Ravel's suite for piano, Miroirs depicts a vast seascape with five impressionistic pictures centred around 'A Ship on the sea'. It is preceded by one of Beethoven's late great and difficult to play sonatas by the composer's own admission. The concert ends with Debussy's luminous little masterpiece evoking a meditteranean seascape seen in Watteau's 'Lembarquement de Cythere.'
