Benjamin Grosvenor is the baby-faced piano prodigy who at 18 is the youngest musician ever to sign for Decca. His debut programme for the label ingeniously moves from Chopin to Ravel's "Gaspard De La Nuit" by way of Liszt's "En Rêve", a pleasing arc further finessed by the way he alternates Chopin scherzos and nocturnes, respectively showcasing Grosvenor's boundless dexterity.

The Liszt portion of the program is even lighter, with a nice mix of lyricism and colorful virtuosic turns, and the sweetness of the music balances the rather unsentimental Chopin interpretations. Less soothing is the dark and haunted music of Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit, which provides Grosvenor his finest moments. If any piece demonstrates this pianist's technical skills and expressive depth, then this tryptich succeeds, for it showcases his talent for weaving fantastic expressions and virtuosic playing into a magical, disturbing, and chilling experience.

Although 19-year-old prodigy Benjamin Grosvenor has been something of a sensation (he'd played both Royal Albert and Carnegie Halls by age 14), his debut exceeds the high expectations. By taking on both Ravel's "Gaspard de la nuit" and Chopin's quartet of scherzos, he steps boldly into some big shoes(renditions of both by Ivo Pogorelich are revered), but Grosvenor's technical skill is fully matched by his insightful, provocative musicality.
