When Jazz Meets Wagner: An Extraordinary Concert Evening in Bamberg
With Jazz Meets Leitmotif, Bamberg anticipates an evening that fascinatingly brings together classical music, improvisation, and grand musical gestures. The German-Armenian pianist David Gazarov is known for such boundary crossings: technically brilliant, spontaneous, stylistically alert, and with that elegant tension that transforms a piano evening into a true concert experience.
Virtuoso Freedom at the Piano
Gazarov moves between classical virtuosity and jazz improvisation with a sovereignty that captivates even demanding listeners. In Bamberg, his approach to Richard Wagner is the focus: leitmotifs, timbres, and harmonic shifts are not presented in a museum-like manner but are dynamically thought through. It is precisely this combination of musical structure and free expression that makes the evening appealing.
A Pianist with International Renown
The musician, born in 1965 in Baku, studied classical piano and jazz in Moscow, won several competitions, and established himself over decades as a defining voice of the Munich jazz scene. His collaborations with names like Charly Antolini, Bobby Durham, Johnny Griffin, James Morrison, and the Bamberg Symphony underline his artistic range. Critics have also recognized for years his connection of technical precision, emotional depth, and creative freedom.
Mirror Hall as a Stage with Historical Splendor
The Mirror Hall of the Harmonie gives the concert a special aura. The historic room, with its mirrors, festive atmosphere, and compact hall acoustics, creates intimacy between stage and audience. For a format like this, it is exactly right: every touch, every harmonic turn, and every improvised line unfolds in the space immediately and intensely.
