About the Artist

“There’s no disputing the remarkable finish, control and sheer beauty characterising Benjamin Grosvenor’s pianism” (Gramophone). “At the forefront of his generation worldwide, he delivers with an unassuming, unforced eloquence” (Catholic Herald).

“Grosvenor proved himself a viscerally appealing performer. The sheer technical assurance with which he dispatched the more punishing segments of his program…was never less than delightful. Even more alluring was Grosvenor’s ability to cloak certain passages in velvet, giving the music a softness and pliability that never obscured the harmonic or expressive content” (San Francisco Chronicle).

“His solo recitals recall an earlier generation of wizards of the piano…an electric current sizzles in this pianist’s fingertips” (Financial Times).
