“Poised to make his New York recital debut Sunday, the 19-year-old British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor has been nothing but a sensation so far, and his recital disc of Chopin selections, Liszt Transcriptions of Chopin and Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit gives him ample evidence why. As with many hot young pianists, his fingers can do anything; unlike his contemporaries, Grosvenor commands an expressive specificity that’s rare among pianists in any age group, but with the kind of strong-minded interpretive insights of an audacious youth.”
