Piotr Anderszewski is considered one of the leading pianists of his generation. His first solo album - comprising works by Bach and Beethoven - won the Polish Critics' Award in 1996 and resulted in a complete Bach series released by Harmonia Mundi. In 2001, his recording of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations for Virgin Classics won several French awards and enthusiastic praise from critics, with The Guardian describing it as 'music of the highest order'. His orchestral concerts won him the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Music Award presented to the very finest instrumental performers. In 2002, he received the Szymanowski Award in recognition of his performances of the composer's work.
Program and cast
Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
