"...a
mesmerizingly creative talent... Anderszewski's
playing is centered in a self awareness so secure
he can leave home to go anywhere the music takes
him."
Richard
Dyer, The Boston Globe
Born in
1969, the Polish-Hungarian pianist Piotr Anderszewski
began to play the piano at the age of 6 and studied
at the Conservatoires of Lyon and Strasbourg,
the University of Southern California and the
Chopin Academy in Warsaw.
His London recital debut at the Wigmore Hall
in February 1991 - featuring Beethoven's Diabelli
Variations and the Bagatelles Op.126 - was enthusiastically
received by both press and public, thus launching
his international career. "A profoundly moving
experience...the audience was transfixed," wrote
Adrian Jack in The Independent.
Since then, Anderszewski has appeared in numerous
major recital series, such as the Ravinia Rising
Stars Series, the BBC Pebble Mill Celebrity Recital
Series and the International Piano Series at London's
Queen Elizabeth Hall. He has also performed at
high-profile festivals such as Bergen, Cheltenham,
Harrogate, La Roque d'Anteron, Brighton, Bath,
Edinburgh, and the Piano aux Jacobins in Toulouse.
He appears regularly at the Wigmore Hall in London
and Théâtre de la Ville in Paris and in 99/00
will take part in the Folle Journée in Nantes,
Les Grands Interprètes in Lyon, the recital series
at the Theatre de Champs Elysees and the Chopin
Society in Minneapolis. In May 2001, Anderszewski
will return to Japan and the Far East with a major
solo tour.
Anderszewski's
concerto engagements have included performances
with the London Philharmonic, London Symphony,
Philharmonia, City of Birmingham Symphony, Munich
Philharmonic, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Warsaw Philharmonic
and New Zealand Symphony orchestras. Among the
conductors with whom he has worked are Rafael
Frühbeck de Burgos, Gerd Albrecht, En Shao, Markus
Stenz, Claus Peter Flor, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski
and Christopher Hogwood. In 99/00 and 00/01 seasons
he will collaborate with the Orchestre Philharmonique
de Strasbourg, the Montpellier Chamber Orchestra,
the BBC Philharmonic and Symphony orchestras and
the Orchestre National de Radio France (under
Charles Dutoit).
