His La Valse is played with such sweep and rubato/crescendos similar to hip-dips and swaying arms in twirling your dance partner. It reminds me of Argerich-Freire's dup piano interpretation. Yet (chuckle) I've heard countless repressed, non-dancing, non-libidinal, plastic and accurate little pianists start that opening as though they were typing on an old fashioned typewriter.

One of the best performances of Listz's Reminisces of Norma to come along in a long time.

He is the pianist of all pianists in the 21st century. Mr Grosvenor is one of the best pianists in the 21st century.

I'd say he's leaps and bounds ahead of most on that list

It’s a sacrilege more folks aren’t listening to Grosvenor. He’s truly an amazing musician.

He's a big draw in the concert hall .... TH-cam is a poor judge of popularity where classical music is concerned.
