Rendezvous with Andrei Gavrilov held as part of 7th Gabala International Music Festival

Gabala, July 31 AZERTAC Well-known pianist Andrei Gavrilov has performed grandiose show within the 7th Gabala International Music Festival. The concert aroused keen interest among the audience. Gavrilov is described by many reviewers as "one of the world's great concert pianists". His performances are technically impeccable, but they still mesmerise and shock, raising not only eyebrows but, at times, also controversy. Imaginative, refined, masterful: critics have used an abundance of adjectives to praise Gavrilov's performances. Occasionally they also point to his polemical approach to both the piano and composers. But there is much more to Gavrilov. A short look at the final rehearsal at the Manasterly Palace, followed by the concert, revealed a pianist who is sui generis musician, with a unique understanding of music.
