His musicianship is advanced. I hope that
all of you get to hear his recordings. In
this live concert, he generated a lot of
electricity, something which you can never
experience on a cd. His Bach was entirely
fresh and brought the concert
grand to to its greatest potential within
the scope of Anderszewski's impeccable taste;
his Haydn was quite mischievous.
He tormented the conductor , Nicholas McGegan,
at one point, (in retrospect, I can see why, but

Oh, during the concert, just a plain black jacket.
I'm not sure that he had leather on at that time.
I didn't even look. I was just in awe of the
pianism, and also somewhat distracted by the exaggerated
conducting style of McGegan.

It seems pretty much like a permanent fashion item there.
A favorite Paris tourist activity is to count black leather pants.
(Especially at artistic venues; Musee d'Orsay sported a record number
one day.) You can also count turtlenecks and scarves (but I think
this is a digression).
Coming back on topic, I entirely approve of black leather pants.
Especially on Parisians.

Re "tormenting" the conductor ... I suppose that's a reference to a
cadenza that went on a bit longer than McGegan expected. He stood
there with arms raised (no baton), the violinists sat with their
instruments under their chins and bows poised, and Anderszewski played
on for several moments, resulting in some glances back and forth. No
one seemed tormented, though; there were more smiles than frowns or
furrowed brows.
The Bach was very good, but I think I still prefer that on a
harpsichord. The Haydn was outstanding, reminded me of my favorite
recording of that, Zitterbart's.

He says he doesn't carry a baton
because he "doesn't count in sevens"
and so on.
I knew from the beginning, when the Bach concerto started, that he wasn't
leading. For one thing, you couldn't hear
any distinct counterpoint from the bass
section.

He has a combination of intelligence
and passion--it is very personal but
educated playing, everything under
control but daring, idiomatic but never
trite. He is not detached, but visceral. His interpretations
have a plan which is clearly laid out.
He has the confidence of a seasoned
master.

I laughed too, at the time--I even thought
it was something they had both planned. However, in retrospect, I think it
might have been Anderszewski's brand of warfare through jest..

The piano certainly draws more interest to itself than the harpsichord (and
doesn't have that delightful buzz)
But anyone who doesn't think Bach liked to show off might do well to dust off
the Toccatas or the early virtuoso works for organ.
If JS was alive today, he'd head straight
for the biggest Steinway or Fazioli he could find (and he'd have a studio full
of gadgets like Glenn Gould).

Well... I wouldn't put it even close to that way. Par example, I
couldn't care less about his bleeping seasonings (or any of the rest

My experience - a recital in Paris last year - was quite different.
Affected, mannered playing, specially in Bach. I question, therefore, his
"education", as well as the "idioms" which he seems to pursue.
In point of fact his Bach reminds me a great deal of that of Murray Perahia
and our own Canadian Bachist. Very pretty stuff, but not at all to my taste,
Bach being anything but a "pretty" composer, in my opinion.
His recent Chopin recital was largely a disappointment; he was right to keep
away from Chopin for so long. One should always trust one's first instincts
in these matters and not give in to the pressure of record company
executives who naturally want a Polish pianist to play Chopin.
So, where does that leave one with PA? Haydn? OK. But I would have to hear
some solo things and he would face serious competition from Andsnes there.
Perhaps his Szymanowski is ne plus ultra?

I actually mostly just look at specific performances, not grand
outlines of musicianship. So if you really want to know where I think
he succeeds - see below. (A not-too-detailed description extracted
from an earlier post on Diabelli variations.)
Lena
From old post, more or less:
Anderszewski's Diabellis - the best (I've heard) at simultaneously
conveying both the diversity and the coherence of the score.
Tempi vary more than in more traditional accounts, significant rubato
is used, and Anderszewski has a big dynamic range (which I think suits
this piece extremely well), but none of it is applied
arbitrarily. There may be minor objections, but I think
this is a significant recording of this piece, and it's extremely
successful IMO in bringing out the variety and invention in the
score as well as the coherence between variations. (For example, in
Vars. 1-6, despite the diversity of playing Anderszewski retains a
sense of
progress towards Var. 6.)
The minor objections: in some variations Anderszewski may sound too
studied and perhaps a little gimmicky; and at least one of these is a
key variation. (The beautiful Grave Var. 14 is very slow (and
unpedaled) here and doesn't come across perhaps with the same singing
"naturalness" as in the good traditional versions. However, I still
find Anderszewski's variation has the required emotional heft;
unnatural or natural...) Similarly, the traditional versions with
their more conservative tempo changes may sound more coherent to many
people.

I saw him "conduct" the Brandenburgs a few years ago, and he called
himself - actually, the role of a conductor in the Brandenburgs -
redundant.
I'm surprised that they even used a conductor for the Bach concerto,
though. Even if the pianist isn't a trained conductor, it can still
work well since the literature is more collaborative in nature than
later works in the format. Granted, he went to Mannes for conducting
(and composition) but Perahia conducted from the piano on his recent
Bach recordings, and the counterpoint (and everything else) is very
well done.
(pause for obligatory dk snyde remark....)
I've heard Anderszewski several times in concert - and each time he's
made a convincing case for modern, fairly romantic piano playing to
this HIPster. His Mozart PC 24 last summer at Ravinia was particularly
memorable. I think he's a wonderful pianist, though I haven't gotten
around to patronizing him on disc yet.

He's sort of a maverick with Bach.
What is mannered to one
is organic to another.
It's always been like that.

Depends on what
you're looking for,
Tom. There are many
levels on which to
enjoy Chopin, and
different aspects
to study. The first
thing I noticed
was a sense of air--
that is, not pushing--
and also his own
finely-carved
structural plan, honed
to perfection. I
found big emotions,
but judged for their
appropriateness within

He would have to know what the authority was first, I think.
PA is more of a "free bird of youth". I am not sure he puts his ideas into
any musical context other than that of his own mind. Which is my problem
with his playing, I think.
He and Martha admire each other - at least on one level - but PA is NO
Martha Argerich. Not by a very long shot.
I will hand you this, though, Val. I would rather hear a dozen concerts by
PA than a single piece by Lang Lang. As MA has said - and in print - "I just

station at Tower, I gave it a try and listened to a couple
of minutes. Actually thought that it was good, but I didn't
buy it.
I heard LL once in a concert and had no great desire to
hear him again, so I skipped the CH recital. But now I'm
beginning to think that he's not that bad. Perhaps he
attracts the strong criticism because of the "tasteless"
promotion, and I, for one, could not stand his theatrical
gestures while he performed.
