Decca, 2014
Shining the spotlight on the music of movement, this album was inspired by a letter from the great pianist-composer Ferruccio Busoni to his pupil Egon Petri proposing a “dance programme” as a theme for Petri’s recitals, a concept Grosvenor expanded on for his Queen Elizabeth Hall debut recital in 2012.

Diapason d’Or
In The Press
“This is an exhilarating programme all told, from a greatly gifted young artist. Excellently recorded, too.”
- The Times
"breathtaking"
- The Guardian
“Mit glitzerndem, hell leuchtendem Ton und prononciert virtuosem Zugriff präsentiert sich Grosvenor dabei als origineller, überragend souveräner Solist, der tatsächlich unter die besten drei, vier der ganz jungen Generation zu rechnen ist ... Ein fulminanter Pianist […,] den man sich nicht entgehen lassen sollte.”
- KulturRadio
“performance after performance of surpassing brilliance and character”
- Gramophone
"'Jeu perlé' to die for, ever changing colours and an innate sense of articulation and rubato"
- Diapason
"A revelation"
- American Record Guide
“His virtuosity is most floridly displayed on the delicate trills and runs in Adolf Schulz Evler’s gloss on Strauss’s 'By the Beautiful Blue Danube' ... The assured modesty of his approach allows the music’s subtler charms to sing through”
