International Piano Series: Piotr Anderszewski

Acclaimed by The Telegraph for performing recitals that 'make you glad to be alive', the Polish-Hungarian pianist Piotr Anderszewski is an artist noted for exceptional musical intensity and originality. These qualities inspired the distinguished film director Bruno Monsaingeon to make three films about him. Critics have deemed him 'breathtaking' and 'unforgettable' (The Independent), and he occasionally likes to surprise his public. 'We found him already waiting for us on stage - lounging on a sofa, sipping tea, leafing through a magazine... Anderszewski strolled to the piano like a guest at the party whose turn it was to play. He got a different kind of attention as a result, and a different quality of silence.' (The Independent)
