Piotr Anderszewski

Pianist Piotr Anderszewski is rolling out into an musician seemingly using a flavor for highly structured functions, most particularly Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations. But that will not mean his shows are dry, educational readings of great functions. Rather, he continues to be praised for his level of sensitivity and imaginative interpretations. Created Apr 4, 1969 in Warsaw, Anderszewski benefited from Poland’s liberalized emigration atmosphere in the 1980s. He researched piano in the Lyon and Strasbourg conservatories, the Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw, as well as the College or university of Southern California in LA. He also went to get better at classes in Italy with Fou Ts’ong, Murray Perahia, and Leon Fleisher. The 1990 Leeds Piano Competition was the start of his profession. There, he performed the Diabelli Variants, then adopted that with Webern’s Variants. However, in the center of the Webern, he abruptly strolled offstage, forfeiting your competition. He had not been having an creative healthy of pique, but instead felt how the Beethoven efficiency spoke sufficiently for him. Actually, it led to two important invites: someone to perform a single recital at Wigmore Hall, the additional to record the Variants for Teldec. He rejected the present from Teldec, sense at that time that a studio room documenting would reduce the spontaneity of the live documenting. He started touring in European countries, most frequently showing up in London, and for a while he toured with violinist Viktoria Mullova, also producing his first documenting with her. His 1st single recordings had been of Bach, Beethoven, and Webern. In 2000, he produced his American debut and was presented with the Karol Szymanowski Award for his interpretations of this composer’s works. Another year Anderszewski authorized a documenting agreement with Virgin Classics. Finally, he was prepared to record the Diabelli Variants, and filmmaker Bruno Monsaigneon recorded the procedure and Anderszewski’s applying for grants the work, very much just as he had recorded Glenn Gould carrying out the Goldberg Variants. Anderszewski’s following performed and documented Mozart piano concertos while performing in the piano. In 2002, he was honored the esteemed Gilmore Award, using a number of the award monies to champ the music of Szymanowski. He provides organized festivals specialized in Szymanowski in Paris, NY, London, and Lodz. Anderszewski continuing to record for Virgin through the initial decade of the brand new millennium, documenting mainstream repertory by Bach and Mozart aswell as Eastern Western european music. A two-disc documenting of the live Carnegie Hall recital made an appearance in ’09 2009. Carrying on to rack up main honours, the pianist gained an ECHO Klassik Prize in 2011, two BBC Music Newspaper Awards (one of these for Documenting of the entire year) in 2012, and Gramophone and ECHO Klassik Honours in 2015 for his debut on the brand new Warner Classics label, specialized in Bach’s British Suites. Anderszewski released Fantaisies, an record devoted to the thought of illusion in the music of Mozart and Schumann, in 2017, a calendar year where his recital performances included those on the Théâtre des Champs-Elyséha sido in Paris, the Tonhalle in Züwealthy, and New York’s Carnegie Hall.
