Benjamin Grosvenor piano
‘A pianist to make you sigh with joy’ (New York Times) sets familiar tunes and big ideas side by side. Beethoven’s variations on English patriotic songs are alert and witty, testing ceremonial melodies with sharp intelligence. Schumann follows with music of restless imagination and passion. After the interval, a sonata by Scriabin shifts between dream and turbulence before Chopin ends the evening in music of stark contrasts and unforgettable intensity.
