"That boy seems to have a sonic variety of liquid gold in his fingers. He's a natural romantic, sensing exactly how to shape an ecstatic arc and pace a rubato; Liszt's music cries out for his flexible poetry… It takes a special type of courage to go into a packed Royal Albert Hall and play so softly. Fortunately, Grosvenor was able to give an encore – a virtuoso transcription by György Cziffra of Brahms' Hungarian Dance No 5 in which, let off the leash, he showed us a palette beyond anything imaginable in an orchestra, let alone this orchestra."
