Nineteen year old British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is internationally recognized for his electrifying performances and penetrating interpretations. An exquisite technique and ingenious flair for tonal colour are the hallmarks which make Benjamin Grosvenor one of the most sought-after young pianists in the world. His virtuosic command over the most strenuous technical complexities never compromises the formidable depth and intelligence of his interpretations.

Benjamin Grosvenor first came to prominence as the outstanding winner of the Keyboard Final of the 2004 BBC Young Musician Competition at the age of 11. Since then, Benjamin has become an internationally regarded pianist performing concerti with renowned orchestras from the London Philharmonic to the Tokyo Symphony. Benjamin Grosvenor’s orchestral performances have taken him to prominent venues such as the Barbican, Muza Kawasaki in Toyko and the Royal Albert Hall and he has worked with numerous esteemed conductors including Alexander Lazarev and Vladimir Ashkenazy.

Already an accomplished recitalist, Benjamin Grosvenor performs to acclaim across the world. He has recently given a highly successful fifteen-concert tour across Germany, for which he was labelled a ‘piano visionary’ by the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

In recent years EMI Classics have supported Benjamin Grosvenor through an innovative development agreement. Benjamin recorded a mixed recital in 2008, which has now been released on CD, entitled ‘This and That’. Overwhelming commendation followed, with Gramophone exclaiming ‘the performances by Benjamin Grosvenor exhibit a skill and talent not heard since Kissin's legendary teenage Russian debut’.
