He doesn’t look too happy on the album cover…
…and you can’t even see his tits. What is even the point.
Any more moronic comments?
The picture was taken after he had taken notice of the information that he had to pay himself for the production.
His recording of Chopin’s concertos was absolutely fabulous

Nice boy, excellent pianism. Worlds apart from Levit and his kind.
Indeed. His rendering of Ondine (one of Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit series) is the best I ever heard:

Good news. He is a brilliant musician.
Benjamin Grosvenor is estimable and outstanding among younger British pianists. Like Stephen Hough, Grosvenor admires carefully selected pianists of the past such as Benno Moiseiwitsch and Alfred Cortot, refreshing avatars.
Grosvenor’s recording of Saint-Saens’s second concerto, the G minor written in 17 days for, but not oplayed by, Anton Rubinstein on his visit to Paris, uncannily replicates Moiseiwitsch’s own with Basil Cameron and the Philharmonia.
This is welcome news. I’m glad to read good things of Grosvenor’s Chopin concerrtos, which I haven’t heard yet. There are not enough young pianists like him.
“Grosvenor admires carefully selected pianists of the past such as Benno Moiseiwitsch and Alfred Cortot, refreshing avatars.” Cortot and BM don’t need this.
A fine young pianist who hasn’t rushed his career.
I was wondering. I seem to remember a fine recording by him when he was exceptionally young, not much since.
I really enjoy his imaginative and unique playing, it reminds me of Josef Hofmann’s best recordings. Looking forward to this release.
A wonderful player who clearly models his style and interpretations on pre-war pianists. No banging from him – great attention to tone and rubato.
Indeed. A superb example of how to play the piano, and a superb musician.
I was lucky enough to hear Benjamin Grosvenor play the Liszt B minor at the Assembly House in Norwich in October in a tiny window of freedom. There were about 60 of us properly spaced. It was a wonderful experience and deserved a much bigger audience. I shall certainly be buying the CD.
