The Goldberg Variations - J.S. Bach

Daniel Grimwood is best known as a world-leading exponent of 19thcentury virtuosic piano repertoire. Received with critical acclaim, Grimwood’s recordings and performances of the music of Adolph von Henselt ensure his international reputation as a groundbreaking, inspirational musician, marking him out as a unique voice amongst his generation of pianists. His recording of Henselt's Complete Etudes garnered "instant classic status" by Gramophone Magazine, which also named it piano release of 2023.

With an astonishing range of music within his repertoire, Daniel’s superlative level of pianism means that he is equally at home performing the music of J.S. Bach, as he is of Rubinstein or Liszt. In 2023 Daniel was invited to open the 34th Season of the highly prestigious Husum Piano Festival in Germany, with a stunning concert of works including Field, Blumenfeld, Liszt, William Sterndale Bennet, Henselt and his own transcription of Purcell's Chacony.
