Eighteen-year-old Benjamin Grosvenor, a finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year aged just 11, set to become the youngest-ever soloist in the history of the Proms when he plays Liszt's Second Piano Concerto on the opening night, and who has just signed a deal with Decca as their youngest-ever artist, has just stunned me. "I'm not that talented, musically. I obviously have some kind of gift for interpreting music, but really otherwise, I'm not that talented." - GuardianHave you ever heard a more aqueous evocation of Ravel’s water nymph? Grosvenor’s Steinway instrument seems permanently underwater, swimming through the softest of rippling textures... Grosvenor, you can tell, is a Romantic pianist, almost from another age. He doesn’t deconstruct, or stand at a distance. He jumps inside the music’s soul - The Times
