Piotr Anderszewski
Piotr Anderszewski (born April 4, 1969 in Warsaw ) is a Polish pianist of Polish-Hungarian descent.
Life
Piotr Anderszewski received his first piano lessons at the age of six. He studied at the Fryderyk Chopin Music Academy , the Conservatories in Lyon and Strasbourg and the University of Southern California . He learned and worked with Murray Perahia , Hélène Boschi , Fou Ts'ong and Leon Fleisher , among others . His appearance at the 1990 piano competition in Leeds caused a sensation: he broke off his piano playing in the semifinals despite realistic chances for first place because his performance did not satisfy him. In 1991 he made his debut at London's Wigmore Hall , in 2005 at the Berlin Philharmonic and in 2008 at Carnegie Hall . A live recording was released in 2009 as a double CD Piotr Anderszewski at Carnegie Hall . In 2000 he recorded Beethoven's Diabelli Variations for Virgin Classics , which were thematically treated in a film by Bruno Monsaingeon .
Anderszewski has been an exclusive artist for the Paris-based Warner Classics since 2000 and a Steinway artist since 2005 . Anderszewski has lived mainly in Paris since 1990.
