Wonderful, deeply felt music. I do so hope that when Benjamin Grosvenor has a bad day, he looks at these comments and sees how hugely appreciated he is by his fans. Bravo Benjamin !
A man who is steeped in musicality. Wonderful how he eschews flash and fire and instead selects and performs superbly musical works. His touch is purely in the service of the music. His tempos are spot-on, his phrasing expressive and his dynamics perfectly calibrated. The flashy show-off pianists who like to mug and grin at the keyboard can learn a lot from this brilliant young man.
This type of musicality is what touches me as an ex-wannabe concert pianist...and I NEVER hear this kind of playing in anything...any thing that poor Miss Wang plays and yet there is no end to the list of the converts to her technically tiktok playing which leaves me cold, colder than ice every single time I try to listen to her playing. I DO DO DO LOVE THE FACILE TECHNICAL AND PHYSICAL WAY HER ARMS, WEIGHT AND DEXTERITY ARE ATTUNED...BUT IF ONLY SOME OF HER HEARRT WEERE FREED
This young pianist is remarkably mature and has a profound musicality and clear intuition that goes much beyond a pure acrobatic technique. He brings his listener to the heart of each work he plays and all we can say is "Thank you so much for being so true and sincere". Magnificent, Benjamin !
Indeed! You have captured his absolute essence in words @Maria. Magnificent, the best out there, I continue to believe. He spans across piano literature without a hitch. Part of everyday life!!! ♥️
Oh wow, so so beautifully written and descriptive of Benjamin's musicality that I fully agree and cheer you for your life fulfilling intuition and sharing about his playing.
Grosvenor is one of the pianistic and musical phenomenons of all time; this is simply gorgeous playing, and it's live! The top pianists today are Grosvenor, Pletnev, Trifonov, Fray, Hough, and Malofeev, and of these Grosvenor is the most poetic and dulcet toned.
i was tired and prepared to og to bed, and thinking to myself, i will just listen through the first Composer....but then not...and then bach busoni...Yeah u got the Picture...impossible to Escape the sonorities grosvenor has to offer.....
Best Bach-Busoni was the live DeLarrocha of my youth . This Busoni sounds like Grosvenor is going for 19th century musical effects .Organ playing and also the freedom of 19th century "intepreters". He also makes the Bach sound like an improvisation . Butit's not organic sounds like many separate flights. As if Scriabin was playing Bach .Its turned into dark night hallucinatory music. Ilove this young man's way here. He will be a revelation in Ravel and Debussy . He onjures a world in the 11th minute !
I suggest you give a listen to Maria Tipo doing an hour of Bach/Busoni. Her mother was a Busoni student and I promise you won't be disappointed to hear a real artist play this piece. th-cam.com/video/tNIurA7m5bw/w-d-xo.html
The Granados is sublime. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like it better than DeLarocha's recording. For certain reasons. Such a beautiful tone he gets. Never banging.
Beautifully played 🎶 It's been such a thrill to see B.G. develop into the truly fantastic pianist he is from when he first walked onto the Young Musician of the Year stage aged only 11!
SUCH expressively and beautiful playing and all the ornaments could not be better played. The subtle rubato and the exquisite use of pedal gives passionate and heart felt color.

I'm quite impressed with his Chopin Baracolle, aesthetically authentic, graceful, colorful dynamics, clear, and never going overboard. I didn't expect this display of sensitivity from a Brit. That rendition reminded me of Sofronitsky.
@@ADGO that's four years ago, today being 2019. It is one of Grosvenor's most epic recitals. Astounding phrasing in his train of thought. Delirious first three works. The way he approaches each work reminded me of the freedom in Fiorentino. I have only heard this in him.
During my year at Eastman School of Music, while working on my Masters degree, my chairman, William Larson, said something of great importance. This was that a study had been done to discover what make music beautiful. And the result was subtle nuances in timing and intensity. Which Benjamin Grosvenor has well mastered. Makes you wonder why today's pop music, especially ugly rap music, brings fear and ugliness. Some of us know--it is engineered this way by those who seek to destroy us.
Yeah, I wasn't really comparing them. I meant more in the sense that they are both British and play in the romantic style of pianists from the early 20th century. I adore them both.
To little life in too many notes, I hate to say. it is not lifeless playing, but he's using a technique that reduces too much for running notes. He should listen to Bolet or Malkusinzki. He is, of course, supremely talented, but this is a major flaws that makes me not want to listen to him. 😟
@@djmotise Perhaps he is saying Mr. Grosvenor is to nice. I don't always like his overly mannered style but his talent is undeniable. Also, too much emphasis on clear running notes can have a trivializing effect.

I wish my old friend and teacher Earl Wild had lived a few years longer. He would have been delighted by this pianist.
B.G è un vero Interprete.
Ascoltarlo è come vivere dentro
La Musica anziché udirla.
Bravo Maestro...

I really enjoyed his playing of the Rameau Gavotte, it's one of my all time favorite Rameau pieces for keyboard.
Rameau is amazing!
What an astonishing phenomenon. I hope he holds on to the simplicity, truth and beauty of his playing as he advances his career.
This is fantastic, the world needs more Grosvenor!
A set of brilliant qualities... We are fortunate to be witnesses to something like that..
It's such a delight to hear this wonderfully sensitive and brilliant young man play.
that tempo and clarity on Rameau's gavotte.....genius.
Only a true musician would program Rameau, not to mention along with Franck and Granados. (Including the glorious 5th Goyescas)
It seems impossible a man to be so perfect! ABSOLUTLY PERFECT!

Aggiungerei sicuramente DOVGAN... Prossima vincitrice a Varsavia!
Have you ever heard MISHA DACIC? Well worth finding his vid on YT and his Liszt disc & Scriabin disc 😁

Holy Cow! Breathtaking.
How can so much talent and art be crammed into one person?
Straordinario. Simply straordinario.
Brilhante pianista, vi outros videos, mas este e o favorito, som limpo cristalino, bom de se ouvir, obrigado por postar.
Emocionante. Grande. Esperanzador.
This is awesome! A privilege to have heard this.
Astonishing, my favourite pianist. Thank you so much!!!
its genius

That´s a very unique repertorie for a concert
A superb musician in all facets, a rarity in this age.
INDEED......
Brilliant Musician! BRAVO!!!
BRAVO! THANKS FOR Granados--great MUSIC!
Astonishing performance of the chaconne, one of the best I have heard. Bravo Benjamin!
The Granados is sublime. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like it better than DeLarocha's recording. For certain reasons. Such a beautiful tone he gets. Never banging.
Großartig interpretierte Bach-Busoni Chaconne.
Benjamin is amazing. He is easily to most musical of major pianists on the major concert stage today.
Agreed.
Great, especially the Rameau-sokolov be aware.
The Granados is pretty good too! :)
Sokolov? he is probably laughing :)
haha yes Jelena Kvashchuk
-- Somptueuses interprétations. --
Clear, brilliant, flawless
Thank you, ADGO!
This guy is a master!
Phenomenal!!!!

This young man reminds me of Dinu Lipatti in the beauty and clarity of his playing
He reminds me of Sokolov. With less ego and more modesty.
Yes, cubby. And he breathes humility. It is all in service of the music.
Der Erste, der dieses zweifelhafte Machwerk Busonis überzeugend spiel. Es gehört statt zum Barock, zum Jugendstil.
Brilliant artistry
EIN PIANIST!
Ein Musiker/Virtuoso......
much underrated pianist he deserves more
BRAVO! Nice repertoire.
Ben and Beatrice are the best of their generation and, happily, each admires the other. Rightly.
...favorevolmente impressionato dalla bravura del giovane pianista. Sarà la nuova stella?

The Rameau is wonderful. Come to think of it, so is everything else.. 😁
superb!!
nice because he is not playing staccato at 6:50 / 99 % musicians do staccato there. its stupid .
I'm quite impressed with his Chopin Baracolle, aesthetically authentic, graceful, colorful dynamics, clear, and never going overboard. I didn't expect this display of sensitivity from a Brit. That rendition reminded me of Sofronitsky.
When and where was this recital. My guess it is many years ago. In his teens.
I wrote at the very top - 2015

wouldn't it be a dream recital :Argerich and Grosvenor ???

A younger Stephen Hough.
Danny B. I prefer him to Hough personally; less fussy.
Yeah, I wasn't really comparing them. I meant more in the sense that they are both British and play in the romantic style of pianists from the early 20th century. I adore them both.
much better

😳 You know absolutely nothing about music and piano.
You're not explaining yourself properly.
