Fresh from his triumphant performances at the Edinburgh Festival, pianist Piotr Anderszewski brings his intelligence, restless curiosity and joy to Brahms’ 12 pieces from Opp. 116– 119, selections from JS Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier Book 2 and Beethoven’s Sonata No. 31 in A-flat major. Known for his uncompromising standards – he famously walked out of the 1990 Leeds Piano Competition because he was unhappy with his playing – Anderszewski has been described by The List as “modest in demeanour but colossal in what he achieves”. See for yourself.
