"What those fortunate enough to find a seat experienced was a 17-year-old artist who seems able to channel the emotional storms of adolescence into high-contrast interpretations of Romantic masterworks and their 20th-century antecedents. His was a performance of tumult and beauty, in which he displayed tremendous technical skill and interpretive depth" wrote Twin Cities' critic Rob Hubbard of Benjamin's recital for The Frederic Chopin Society of Minnesota, commenting on the performance of Liszt's B minor Sonata, a work dedicated to Schumann, that "Grosvenor found the connection to that composer with his high-intensity shifts between darkness, fury and resignation".
