Piotr Anderszewski
on: February 02, 2005, 12:12:12 AM
This wonderful pianist will be playing four recitals in the United States in the next week. Charlottelsville, VA tonight, then Aspen, La Jolla and finally Carnegie Hall on the 9th. I was hoping to get up to New York to hear him, but unfortunately things didn't work out. If anyone on this forum gets a chance to hear him at any of these venues, I would love to get a report.  Thanks in advance.

I heard a "report" from somebody who attended the Charlottesville recital. She was not terribly impressed with this particular performance and didn't find it too inspiring in large parts. I personally respect Anderszewski's playing a lot, so I was a bit surprised. However, the hall is not really conducive to great playing, there is a lot of noise, so I wonder if that didn't have a great impact on either player and/or listener.

I'd be interested in hearing how the other recitals turn out.
