@import url("/css/global.css"); @import url("/css/screen-layout.css"); The independent student newspaper of the University of Chicago since 1892 Advanced Search / Archives Preferences Pair of prodigious pianists are a study in brilliant contrasts at Symphony Hall By Christian Kraus April 9, 2004 in Voices In Chicago, this spring is the season of the great pianists. In the next six weeks, Alfred Brendel, András Schiff, Krystian Zimerman, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard will all offer the latest results of their musical research, and just now, we had the chance to see two of today’s most promising young pianists at Symphony Hall. Already, both are highly acclaimed: the 35-year-old Piotr Anderszewski is the recipient of the Gilmore Award, the most prestigious award for talented pianists; and Lang Lang, even younger at 22, is “the future of classical music,” or so we are told by his record company (a recent scathing critique in the New York Times notwithstanding). Neither pianist is a stranger to Chicago. Lang has repeatedly won the hearts of Chicago audiences, most recently last October. Anderszewski, on the other hand, gave his debut at Mandel Hall in the fall of 2001, and has returned for his third Chicago recital. Despite these commonalities, it would be all-too-tempting to cast Lang and Anderszewski as musical antipodes. Anderszewski, one wants to say, is the serious artist, suggesting a contrast to Lang Lang, the virtuoso. And other oppositions come to mind: the seeker of profundities vs. the charmer, classicism vs. romanticism, discipline vs. exuberance, and ultimately, objectivity vs. subjectivity. One is in the tradition of a Brendel or an Arrau, and the other aligned with the great virtuosos of the past—Horowitz, Cherkassky, and all the others. But these simple antitheses cannot capture what is, especially in the case of Anderszewski, a highly multifaceted musical personality. (And surprisingly enough, Anderszewski, the proto-Prada model, is the better-groomed and better-looking of the two, while it was Lang—with his innocent, childlike, asexual appearance—who had the ladies groan in delight as he sat down for yet another encore.)
