Overview
‘Benjamin Grosvenor’s Chopin is undoubtedly of the highest class, securely navigating as it does between temptations to understate or overstate,’ wrote Gramophone in its review of his recent album of Second and Third Piano Sonatas and other works. The acclaimed British pianist’s recital programme juxtaposes Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ and Chopin’s ‘Funeral March’ sonatas, two of the best known compositions in the repertoire, with pieces that reveal fascinating perspectives on each.
