Erotic and Exotic: François-Frédéric Guy and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet at Wigmore Hall

Frances Wilson, 2nd July

In a neat piece of programming, Monday’s Wigmore Hall lunchtime concert brought together two French master-pianists to play two French masterpieces for the ballet, Debussy’s Jeux and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, both transcribed for two pianos.The works are, in fact, old friends, and were both introduced to the world by the Ballets Russes, in 1913.
