Jean-Claude Henriot is a former national bridge champion, and thinks the card game and Beethoven's Diabelli Variations both require the same sort of strategic planning. Accordingly, he takes his time: the tempos are often unusually slow...But, on the whole, he follows Beethoven's markings religiously, and finds much beauty as a result.

This recital shows a pianist of immense intelligence and insight. His meticulous control of colour and clean sound appeals deeply, and he uses a vast palette in Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition while allowing every incident space to make its impact.
