About

Benjamin Grosvenor explores the depths of Chopin with new album featuring Piano sonatas 2 & 3. Benjamin’s ninth album for Decca classics features two of Chopin’s most profound and contrasting works. Written nearly a decade apart, these masterpieces showcase the range of Chopin’s emotional and musical brilliance. Alongside the sonatas are three shorter works: the dramatic Ballade No.1, the peaceful lullaby Berceuse, and two Nocturnes.

Awards and reviews

July 2025

Perhaps not the most multi-faceted Chopin playing , with too much emphasis on approaching the composer back through a Romantic lens rather than forward through a Classical one, but a characteristically thoughtful recital.
4 out of 5 stars

June 2025

Benjamin Grosvenor’s Chopin is undoubtedly of the highest class, securely navigating as it does between temptations to understate or overstate.
