Benjamin Grosvenor, piano

A regular at the Proms since his debut here over a decade ago, former 主播大秀 Young Musician of the Year Finalist Benjamin Grosvenor brings a selection of transcriptions and arrangements of works better known in other guises. The sensuality of Debussy鈥檚 Pr茅lude 脿 l鈥檃pr猫s-midi d鈥檜n faune melts into Ravel鈥檚 tender Le tombeau de Couperin suite and his heady, war-scarred La valse, while a passing visit to the Italian opera comes courtesy of Liszt鈥檚 virtuosic reimagining of Bellini鈥檚 Norma, a bel canto tale of warring Druids and Romans, set in ancient Gaul.
