Mozart K.467, Birmingham Post.
Sunday 21 August 2011
"Benjamin Grosvenor, OOTS’ latest associate artist, received a tremendous reception from a well-filled auditorium even before he’d played a note of Mozart’s Piano Concerto no.21, K467. After a poised, crystalline orchestral introduction, Grosvenor’s entry into the sound-picture seemed to emerge out of nothing, his playing crisp, clear and articulate, his focus thoughtful and absorbed, and with certainly no gallery-directed “flash”.
The fluidity of his fingerwork, his well-placed bass lines and attentiveness to conductor and inner detail made this a performance of chamber-music intimacy.
Never mind Grosvenor being a BBC prizewinner; audiences have won a major prize in finding this amazing young man."
