Stravinsky’s complete works for piano and orchestra, grouped together here by the French virtuoso pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier and the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, span the bulk of his working life from 1910 (Pétrouchka) to 1959 (Movements), via the eclectic formality and classicism of the Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments to the high-spirited Capriccio, which the composer himself frequently performed. Bavouzet, who won a 2014 Gramophone award for his Prokofiev concertos, brings energy and precision to this repertoire, whether in the serialism of Movements or the majestic, extrovert flair of Pétrouchka. It’s hard to imagine better.
