Recognised for his sonorous lyricism and understated brilliance, Benjamin Grosvenor is acknowledged by Gramophone as one of the top fifty pianists ever on record.
A celebrated recitalist, this season he performs in Asia, Europe, USA, and Canada. He opens with Robert Schumann’s ‘Flower-piece’ and Fantasy, a salute to Beethoven – both also veiled love letters to his future wife, Clara – before guiding us round Mussorgsky’s vivid art-gallery in sound
