“Not just a significant artist,” said the New York Times, “Piotr Anderszewski is a colourful personality who cultivates a ‘Polish punker’ look with his sleek black hair and tight leather pants. He would seem to have everything.” On another occasion it opined, “It can be hard not to wax hyperbolic when confronted with Anderszewski’s sensitive touch and potent imagination.” Anderszewski’s numerous accolades include the prestigious Gilmore award, given every four years to a pianist of exceptional talent. A recent recording of solo works by Schumann picked up an ECHO Klassik award in 2011, and two BBC Music Magazine awards in 2012.
Anderszewski frames his imaginative programme with the baroque colour and intricacies of Bach’s first and last English Suites, which contrast with the dual personality of romantic dreamer and hot-headed young suitor in Schumann’s Novelette No. 8 and the uneasy introspection of Janáček’s On an Overgrown Path.
