4| Benjamin Grosvenor piano Beethoven Theme and Variations on Rule Britannia Beethoven7 Variations on God Save the King Schumann Fantasie in C Scriabin Sonata no.2 in G-sharp minor Chopin Sonata no.2 in B-flat minor ‘A pianist to make you sigh with joy’ (New York Times) sets familiar tunes and big ideas side by side.
