Benjamin Grosvenor

Benjamin Grosvenor is a young pianist that people are going on about. He does seem to be pretty good, from an ‘I sometimes like emotion in my music’ point of view, but, for me, there is a funny dichotomy between his appearance and what I hear coming out of the piano. Perhaps it is because he has no panache, no flair, no uber level of apparent sophistication?

Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor plays Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5 at the First NIght of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
