The programme includes a selection of works by Johannes Brahms and Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor Op. 111.
Wigmore Hall writes on its website that Anderszewski "offers a richly woven journey through Brahms' late piano miniatures, revealing their intimate poetry and spirit, before turning to Beethoven’s monumental Op. 111."
The Brahms pieces are featured on Anderszewski’s latest CD entitled Brahms: Late Piano Works, released by Warner Classics on February 16.
In a foreword to the album, the pianist wrote: "These late works by Brahms are like a testament. But what is this secretive man revealing to us here? Or rather, what is he still trying to hide? Hiding it until the very end, arousing in us an irresistible desire to guess what it is? Perhaps that is where the beauty of these scores lies."
On June 6, Anderszewski will return to Wigmore Hall, this time with tenor Ian Bostridge in Robert Schumann’s song cycles Dichterliebe Op. 48 and Liederkreis Op. 24.
At 56, Anderszewski is regarded as one of the world’s most outstanding pianists. His honours include the prestigious Gilmore Artist Award and the Royal Philharmonic Society Award.
