Liveact: Abuzar Manafzade

Live performances with orchestras in Istanbul and Brasília, and from my CD release concert in Vienna as a solo pianist with my own compositions. Vagif Mustafazadeh's Concerto in Jazz Style for Piano and Strings blends jazz, mugham, and classical motifs across three movements, demanding high virtuosity from both the soloist and the orchestra. While playing piano, I also conducted the orchestras. "Mozart in Baku" is a piece I composed by adding Azerbaijani mugham and jazz elements into the lyrical theme of the second movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, K. 488, imagining what it would be like if Mozart visited Baku. "Apple Fantasy" is a funny piece based on an iPhone ringtone, created after noticing that, unlike Nokia’s famous ringtone, Apple had yet to inspire such a composition.
