Piotr Anderszewski is regarded as one of the outstanding pianists of our age. He appears regularly in recital at many of the major concert venues around the world.
Throughout his career he has concentrated on the classic German and Viennese repertoire, encompassing Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann and Webern. He is also drawn to twentieth-century Central European music, particularly that of Szymanowski and Janáček. He chooses his repertoire carefully, playing pieces to which he feels he can contribute in an original and personal way.
Anderszewski has played with many of the world’s great symphony orchestras, though in recent years he has placed special emphasis on playing and directing. With Mozart concertos in particular, he finds that conducting from the keyboard achieves a more conversational relationship in what he sees as essentially chamber works. His collaborations with chamber orchestras include the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Sinfonia Varsovia.
An exclusive Warner Classics artist since 2000, Anderszewski has received numerous prizes for his recordings. His Beethoven Diabelli Variations, Bach’s English Suites and selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier have all received critical acclaim. His recording devoted to Robert Schumann received BBC Music Magazine’s Recording of the Year award in 2012.
His recital brings together Beethoven’s final three piano sonatas, works of extraordinary intimacy, spiritual depth and visionary invention.
