Benjamin Grosvenor plays Chopin, Liszt & Ravel

Benjamin Grosvenor first achieved prominence as the eleven-year-old winner of the 2004 BBC Young Musician of the Year keyboard finals. He now takes his place as one of today’s most exceptional pianists, “with a seemingly endless poetic finesse and resource” (Gramophone). His Decca debut recital celebrates two pillars of the virtuoso repertory—the Chopin Scherzos and Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit, linked by the music of Liszt.
