His hands flew over the keyboard, his fingers barely touched the keys and yet the room was filled with the all-encompassing sound of his Fingerplay. What the ear took in could no longer be grasped with the eyes, even if one or two guests chose to sit right next to the him. Murat Parlak at his best. He thrilled the guests in equal measure - be it jazz lovers or classical music enthusiasts. A wonderful fusion of well-known pieces, melodies or even just individual chords with his own compositions repeatedly found their way into the variety of improvisation. The highlight of the evening was the impromptu performance of excerpts from Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th Symphony. In the spirit of the classical master, who was convinced that the constant repetition of the same notes and absolute faithfulness to the original would lead to boredom and erosion, Murat Parlak took the composition into a new world that enchanted all the guests alike. A gift for every music lover.
