Piotr Anderszewski
Piano
Piotr Anderszewski is regarded as one of the outstanding musicians of his generation.
He appears regularly in recital at such concert halls as the Wiener Konzerthaus, Berlin Philharmonie, Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and Concertgebouw Amsterdam. His collaborations with orchestra have included appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic, Berlin Staatskapelle, London Symphony, Philharmonia and NHK Symphony. He has also placed a special emphasis on playing and directing, working with Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Camerata Salzburg, among others.
Piotr has been an exclusive artist with Warner Classics/Erato (previously Virgin Classics) since 2000. His first recording for the label was Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, which went on to receive a number of prizes. He has also recorded Grammy-nominated discs of Bach's Partitas 1, 3 and 6 and Szymanowski's solo piano works, the latter receiving a Gramophone award in 2006. His recording devoted to works by Robert Schumann received the BBC Music Magazine's Recording of the Year award in 2012. Piotr’s disc of Bach's English Suites nos. 1, 3 and 5, released in November 2014, went on to win both a Gramophone award and an ECHO Klassik award in 2015. His most recent release featuring a selection of Preludes and Fugues from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier Book II received a Gramophone award in September 2021.
Recognised for the intensity and originality of his interpretations, Piotr has been a recipient of the Gilmore award, the Szymanowski Prize and a Royal Philharmonic Society award.
He has also been the subject of several documentaries by the film maker Bruno Monsaingeon. 'Piotr Anderszewski plays Diabelli Variations' (2001) explores Piotr’s particular relationship with Beethoven's iconic work. 'Unquiet Traveller' (2008) is an unusual artist portrait, capturing Piotr’s reflections on music, performance and his Polish-Hungarian roots.
In 2016 Piotr got behind the camera himself to explore his relationship with his native Warsaw, creating a film entitled 'Je m'appelle Varsovie'.
In the 2022/23 season, Piotr will focus on a new recital programme, which he will perform at Philharmonie de Paris, Vienna Musikverein, Alte Oper Frankfurt and other major concert halls in Europe and Asia. He can also be heard with orchestras including Leipzig Gewandhausorchester, Kammerakademie Potsdam, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, among others.

Piotr Anderszewski, one of the greatest pianists of our time, is known for the extreme care he takes in choosing the repertoire for each recital. The pianist defends that the pieces played in the same concert should offer not only a personal perspective on each one, but also a vision of the whole, triggered by listening to them in a context where they are related. This care extends the notion of Anderszewski as a great communicator and as an exquisite and original interpreter. His mastery is also revealed in the constant return to authors such as Bartók, Bach or Szymanowski.
