Notice a master at work here! None of this swooning around that others think makes a pianist. Utter concentration and music making at the highest level.
Benjamin, this is very moving. No doubt you are winning a global following through these lovely free postings on You Tube. Thank you for sharing your gift in this way. Your music-making is enriching our lives. Gratefully, Ken
Indeed, and getting to know his lovely personality increases the pleasure of his moving musical approach.
Such a beautiful piece of music. The pervasive melancholic air and the delicate fluttering of the Nightingle's wings is romantic pianism at its best. Lovely performance.
A haunting and tender selection. There's really a lot going on here. I come to understand the piece better and better, each time I listen to it, and I've heard the de Larrocha version over and over. The camera work is beautiful, and of the highest quality. Bravo, Mr. Grosvenor !
This guy is a miracle. A force to be reckoned with. Thanks, Bejnamin.
You are excellent. Worth noting that you do not use any extreme motions and fake postures. Congratulations
My very favorite piano piece! Your interpretation was hauntingly beautiful
Benjamin, your interpretation of this beautiful piece of Granados is absolutely stunning, so pure and touching, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent.
granados?
Beautiful and spiritual
I played through this piece yesterday for the first time in years and it quickly reminded me why I hadn't been near it in a long time. So densely textured and nuanced with quite some considerable technical difficulty ! So I thought I'd listen to something decent, and Benjamin's was the first to show up. Just magnificent.
This is a fine interpretation.
Beautifully done - rapt and sensitive.
Beautiful! Your ability to 'prolong' a single piano tone to let it sing, the multi-colour balance you're able to realize so that we hear each single little 'counter voice' and the beautifully balanced chords show you are out of the normal. This is the first piece I hear from you, I'm enthusiast!
Such a beautiful piece. There's something hypnotic about its subtlety melancholy. I am learning it for a piano summer school and your interpretation is such an inspiration to work on the technical difficulties to reach the soul of this music. I saw your latest QEH concert, which was wonderful. When are you coming back to Saffron Hall.
Exquisite! thank you for posting.
Thanks Benjamin! And such a lovely old piano!
This is a real jewel, always have loved it
Yes. But not just a jewel. A whole casket of jewels.
Wonderful.Absolutely wonderful.
Stunning performance!
Very well played Benjamin. I am looking forward to you playing the complete Goyescas sometime in Amsterdam. Since the great Alicia de Larrocha is not amongst us anymore, you could be her successor playing this wonderful music. Your touch is beautiful!
👏👏👏Fully agree.
Superlative!
Most beautiful rendition since Myra Hess'
Allicia De Larocha not good enough for you?
@@thepianocornertpc of course..but if there is only one "valid"..( sic) interpretation...the piece is not worth it.Bet you never heard Myra Hess in concerts as I.
@@christopherczajasager9030 I know who you are Christopher. You just need to know I was a student of Michelangeli. I am not a dilletant. As for M. Hess. A formidable talented woman of whom I have a respectable discography.Your quote:"..the piece is not worth it..?"..hmm
@@thepianocornertpc you have misunderstood a central thought in my short text.the Granados "Nightingale is a small jewe open to countless interpretations.l
@@christopherczajasager9030 Ok Christopher...my good man.
Superlative! Can we look forward to the entire Goyescas (and El Pelele)?
Oh, that would be just wonderful !! (and if he can also "throw in" the whole Iberia by Albeniz... ;) )
Brilliant.
I still prefer the rendition by Alicia de Larrocha, but I have to say that this is a very, very close second. Among all the great pianists of the last half century or more, I don't think any have presented this jewel quite so sensitively. The actual title Granados gave to the piece is Quejas, o la Maja y el ruisenor, and that first word is a little difficult to translate. IMHO it should be thought of as a lamentation, a whispered groaning of the spirit. Mr Grosvenor very well conveys that with an achingly delicate suspiration from the piano.
Jean-Mark Luisada's the most expressive rendition.
Perhaps lacking in freedom and abandon associated with the Latin temperament . But there is no doubt he is a genius when it comes to articulation and subtle dynamics and voicings. The piano and recording are outstanding here!
What is with the clip of him checking his phone at the beginning
Xaxaxaxa same question
@@panagiotapelekouda1872 Metronome?
@@yosserc i don't know, it seems like he is texting to someone :p, that's why i was wondering
@@panagiotapelekouda1872 NO, not just before filming. He will use a tablet for the music often enough I guess - but a smart phone?
@@yossercyeah ok,but in this case? 😂
He incorrectly played a G natural, instead of a G sharp in the left hand of measure 39.
There are no G sharp notes in the LH of bars 38,39 or 40…there is a Gflat in 38, no G in 39, no G in 40…
Granados himself plays it (breathtakingly) on a Duo-Art piano roll: th-cam.com/video/5lQjfG-Zt88/w-d-xo.html

Wow, I didn’t know Magnus Carlsen played piano too.
Cold interpretation, you most have Spanish or Latin blood to feel it
Are you sure you're not judging by appearance and not by sound? Would you rather watch someone play who stirs with their elbows, flails with their arms, and lifts their wrists as if they imagine they're the "Dying Swan," while meanwhile indulging in lurid and disgusting facial expressions? I'd rather hear someone like Benjamin whose playing is multidimensional, as this is.
Ethno-nationalism!
An ab"soul"lutely stunning and heartfelt performance. It is the language of love... not even Spanish or Latin!
Nonsense! It's a beautiful performance. To interpret art is a cold and calculating business and it's generally the lesser artists who pretend to emote whilst they're doing it. A real artist like Grosvenor, who has nothing to prove, eschews all that showbusiness. He will keep all that stuff for practice.
Pretty insensitive to say that it’s a requirement that one needs to have Spanish/Latin blood in order to play in a way that pleases you.
Quite rough.. It requires a good polish. Some notes are missing, some embellishments lack quality, shaping and rhythm are not refined.
Fine but It would've been better if you'd felt the music much more. There are many things that require body movement so as to get into the piece and do rythm changes to make it more passional and appealing. However, it's obvious you're a great pianist, congrats! Regards from Spain
Your criticism is absurd, John Garcia.
I agree with you. A interpretation with much more feelings th-cam.com/video/tH7Y2uSHn20/w-d-xo.html
What a load of rubbish
Close your eyes and just listen!
I couldn't disagree more. Feeling the music MORE?
