Piotr Anderszewski
"Anderszewski is a remarkable pianist - no note is out of place, no chord is not perfectly balanced." The Guardian
Back in Liège, Piotr Anderszewski presents a selection from Brahms’s Opp. 116–119, which he has recently recorded for Warner Classics. These late works, which the composer himself referred to as his “lullabies of my sorrow,” blend pain and serenity, forming a kind of intimate diary in which Clara Schumann saw “an inexhaustible treasure of masterpieces.” He concludes his recital with Beethoven’s Thirty-Second and final Sonata, built around an imperious, impassioned Maestoso–Allegro, followed by an Arietta with variations—an astonishing fusion of serenity and swing-like inflections that seems to lead straight to Nirvana.
