Piotr Anderszewski is one of the most prominent pianists of his generation and is a regular guest at all the world’s major concert halls.
He has performed with the Berlin Philharmonic, the London and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Gewandhaus Orchestra, and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, which he also conducted from the piano. Recitals have taken him to London’s Barbican Centre and the Royal Festival Hall, the Vienna Konzerthaus, Carnegie Hall, and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.

His recordings include Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, which won the Choc du Monde de la Musique; the Grammy-nominated Bach Partitas Nos. 1, 3, and 6; and a recording featuring works by his compatriot Szymanowski. His album of solo works by Schumann won two BBC Music Magazine Awards in 2012, including Recording of the Year. His recording of Bach’s English Suites Nos. 1, 3, and 5 won the 2015 Gramophone Award for Best Instrumental Album. Following the solo album “Fantaisies,” featuring works by Mozart and Schumann, released in February 2017, his recording of Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 25 & 27 with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe was released in January 2018. In 2021, his interpretation of J. S. Bach’s *Well-Tempered Clavier*, Book 2, was honored with the Gramophone Classical Music Award.

Piotr Anderszewski, known for the intensity and originality of his interpretations, has been honored with several prestigious awards throughout his career, including the prestigious Gilmore Award, which is presented every four years to a pianist of exceptional talent.

Director Bruno Monsaingeon filmed two award-winning documentaries about him for ARTE. The first, from 2001, explores Anderszewski’s special relationship with the Diabelli Variations, while the second, *Piotr Anderszewski, A Traveler Without Rest (2008), is an artist portrait that captures Anderszewski’s reflections on music, his concert career, and his Polish-Hungarian roots. A third documentary by Monsaingeon, *Anderszewski Plays Schumann*, was filmed in 2010 for Polish television.

In the 2023/24 season, Piotr Anderszewski will present his new recital program in Warsaw, Cologne, Hamburg, London, Berlin, Prague, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Geneva, Lisbon, Paris, Tokyo, and at the Gilmore Festival in Kalamazoo, among other venues. He is also looking forward to concerts with, among others, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte Carlo, the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, as well as Play-Lead projects with Sinfonia Varsovia and the Israel Camerata, with whom he will be touring.
