Piotr Anderszewski is considered one of the leading pianists of his generation. His 1991 London début launched him on the path to worldwide fame. 'A deeply moving experience… the audience listened entranced,” a music critic wrote for The Independent. Since then, Anderszewski has given concerts regularly in the world's leading venues, including London's Royal Festival Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Wiener Konzerthaus, New York's Carnegie Hall, and Suntory Hall in Tokyo, alongside the most outstanding orchestras, like the Berlin and London philharmonics, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Boston and Chicago symphony orchestras, and under the batons of conductors such as Claudio Abbado, John Eliot Gardiner, Bernard Haitink and Charles Dutoit.
His first solo album - comprising works by Bach and Beethoven - won the Polish Critics' Award in 1996 and resulted in a complete Bach series released by Harmonia Mundi. In 2001, his recording of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations for Virgin Classics won several French awards and enthusiastic praise from critics, with The Guardian describing it as 'music of the highest order'. His orchestral concerts won him the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Music Award presented to the very finest instrumental performers. This distinction put him in the same company as Murray Perahia, Itzhak Perlman and András Schiff. In 2002, he received the Szymanowski Award in recognition of his performances of the composer's work. BBC Music Magazine wrote of him: 'Of the younger pianists, he seems the most likely to join the all-time greats.”
