Mompou: Paisajes
Medtner: 2 Fairy Tales
Ravel: Valses nobles et sentimentales
Gounod/Liszt: Valse from Faust

Benjamin Grosvenor presents a typically searching, richly-varied programme: teenage Mendelssohn gives way to mature Schubert while elusive Schumann and Medtner contrast with the virtuosity and colour of Ravel and of Liszt's fiendish transcription of Gounod's Faust.
