On Tuesday 7th March, Dubai will witness the arrival of a living piano legend, as Polish maestro Piotr Anderszewski takes to the stage of Dubai Opera for the first time in his career in a concert which is being organised as part of the 2023 InClassica International Music Festival. An exclusive artist with Warner Classics since 2000, Anderszewski has recorded multiple Grammy-nominated discs, going on to win a Gramophone award in 2006, BBC Music Magazine's Recording of the Year award in 2012, a Gramophone award and an ECHO Klassik award in 2015, and a Gramophone award in September 2021. Additionally, the pianist has been a recipient of the Gilmore award, the Szymanowski Prize and a Royal Philharmonic Society award. Now, for his 2022/23 season, Anderszewski has unveiled a new recital programme which he will be bringing to the Middle East for an enchanting evening of music showcasing all the intensity and originality of interpretation that the Polish artist has become famed for.
Piotr Anderszewski is regarded as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation and appears regularly in all of the world's major concert halls.
His collaborations with orchestra have included appearances 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.
2022/23, Piotr Anderszewski will perform solo recitals in Paris, Vienna, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Seoul, Madrid, Rome and Baltimore, among others. He is also looking forward to concerts with the Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Kammerakademie Potsdam, the NHK Symphony Orchestra, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, among others.
His numerous recordings have won many awards. The latest, his interpretation of J. S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book 2 was awarded the Gramophone Classical Music Award.
Recognised for the intensity and originality of his interpretations, Piotr Anderszewski has been a recipient of several high-profile awards over the course of his career, including the prestigious Gilmore Award, which is presented every four years to a pianist of exceptional talent.
The director Bruno Monsaingeon shot two award-winning documentaries about him for ARTE. The first sheds light on Anderszewski's special relationship to the Diabelli Variations, while the second, “Piotr Anderszewski, Traveler Without Rest” (2008) is an artist portrait and reflects Anderszewski's thoughts on music, concert activities and his Polish-Hungarian roots. A third documentary by Monsaingeon, “Anderszewski plays Schumann” was shot for Polish television in 2010.
