Jean-Efflam Bavouzet

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (born 1962) is a French classical pianist.

Bavouzet was born in Lannion, France and grew up in Metz. He started his music studies there, encountering such luminaries as Iannis Xenakis, Olivier Messiaen, and Pierre Boulez. Moving to the Conservatoire de Paris, he studied under Pierre Sancan, among others. He also had private lessons with Georg Solti, and in June 1997 was engaged to play Béla Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 3 with Solti conducting the Orchestre de Paris in 1998. Solti died in September 1997, so they never appeared together in public.

Bavouzet is a recording artist for the Chandos label. His recordings have received several Gramophone Awards (2011, works for piano and orchestra by Debussy and Ravel; 2009, Debussy Complete Solo Piano Music, vol. 4), and numerous other awards, including the BBC Music Magazine Award, the Choc de la Musique and the Diapason d'Or.
