Piotr Anderszewski

Everything about Piotr Anderszewski is extraordinary: his virtuosity, originality, and constant questioning as a performer. The Polish-Hungarian concert pianist brings restless curiosity to everything he does, whether performing, recording, composing, or even directing films. He can zoom in on the tiniest detail while revealing the grand architecture of each work.

Schubert’s Piano Sonata in C minor, written in his final months and published posthumously, is a grand edifice for a life cut short. Schumann’s Bunte Blätter, by contrast, is a collection of memories, portraits, and dreams, all shot through with flashes of gold, like autumn leaves.

And then, Bach. After a lifetime immersed in his work, including three award-winning recording projects, Anderszewski reveals a new spectrum of nuance and expression.
