‘A genius who has reached the height of his interpretive powers.’ – Spectator

British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is internationally acclaimed for his sonorous lyricism and understated brilliance at the keyboard. Described as a ‘genius who has reached the height of his interpretive powers’ (Spectator), his virtuosic interpretations are underpinned by a unique balance of technical mastery and intense musicality. Recently named one of the top 50 pianists ever on record by Gramophone, Grosvenor is regarded as one of the most important pianists to emerge in several decades.
