Piotr Anderszewski

Piano poet? The word should be used sparingly. Piotr Anderszewski, however, who has concentrated on a rather narrow repertoire for many years, is exactly that: a pianist who seismographically captures musical moods with precision, who listens into compositional depths and always seeks to tell a haunting story. The works that the shy Pole has compiled here are correspondingly existential: Schubert's sonata from the fall of 1828, which begins in Beethoven's heroic C minor style and ends in an almost endlessly spinning tarantella, is music from the edge of life. This applies all the more to the deeply melancholy miniatures of late Brahms. And yet there is never a lack of consolation.
