The Anglo-Irish pianist Daniel Grimwood has been hailed by critics and audiences as an artist of rare versatility and refinement. His musical interest started as a 3-year-old playing next door’s piano, and from the age of 7 he was performing in front of audiences. His training continued with Graham Fitch at the Purcell School, where he also studied violin, viola and composition, giving him a broad appreciation of classical music, and later with Vladimir Ovchinnikov and Peter Feuchtwanger. Grimwood is a passionate exponent of the early piano, and has given a recital of Chopin’s Etudes on the composer’s own Pleyel piano. As a solo recording artist his discs of Liszt and Chopin, performed on an 1851 Erard piano, received a unanimous chorus of praise from the press; the Liszt album was Daily Telegraph CD of the week and Editor’s Choice in Gramophone Magazine. He was the first artist to record on the Edition Peters Sounds label, the complete Fauré Nocturnes album was released to excellent reception in The Sunday Times, which was followed by a disc of solo piano works by Adolph von Henselt, described as “a blizzard of dazzling pianism” by the Observer. His latest release is disc of Doreen Carwithen and William Alwyn, also on Edition Peters Sounds. Daniel Grimwood was featured in BBC Four’s TV documentary series “Revolution and Romance”. As editor, Daniel is currently preparing editions of Field and Henselt for Edition Peters.
