His compelling technique, unerring sense of form and dramaturgy, and stylistic versatility create a kind of “intoxication of clarity” in the moment of performance: Yes, this is how it should be, this is how it is intended, this is right, this is beautiful. Grosvenor doesn’t need to employ eccentric “expressive means.” Expression is what emerges when you let the music sound as it is intended. His irresistible way of making the piano sing, forming seemingly endless lyrical arcs, sets his voice apart from the chorus of piano virtuosos of our time. It’s easy to forget that, at just 31 years old, he has already crafted numerous concerts and recordings over the past 20 years. For two decades, he has transcended the solitude of the practice room onto concert stages, transcending our perception of the world.
