【台灣醒報記者羅佳旼台北報導】輕快又富涵幽默趣味的琴聲，配上主唱渾厚帶搖滾的嗓音，彷彿聖誕老人真的搖擺的進城來了。歐洲爵士「鋼琴聖手」大衛‧卡札洛夫首度來台，自12日起將以爵士三重奏，巡迴演出古典爵士跨界改編曲，巴哈《G弦飛舞》、《爵士布雷》，蕭邦《小狗圓舞曲》、《咆哮蕭邦》等，以及爵士風格的聖誕樂。

爵士與古典樂雙才大衛‧卡札洛夫，從小接受嚴格的古典鋼琴訓練，跟隨俄國作曲大師蕭士塔高維契的學生學藝，進入以培養天才音樂家出名的格尼辛音樂學院，使他擁有絕佳的鋼琴演奏技巧，並在父親的影響下開始接觸爵士樂，古典與爵士在他手中開始完美的跨界結合，2010年推出《時尚蕭邦》，以爵士風格重新呈現蕭邦獨特的旋律。
大衛‧卡札洛夫說，古典樂巴哈、蕭邦的樂曲有許多音符都有爵士韻味在裡頭，他在記者會中現場演奏《咆哮蕭邦》，和爵士鼓手強尼、德國低音大提琴手舒茲巧妙搭配，只見他的雙手在黑白琴鍵上飛快穿梭，熱情激昂的樂音自琴鍵流洩而下，細膩的詮釋技巧令人嘆為觀止。
大衛接著與比利時爵士女聲卡蘿‧凡葳登一同演出《聖誕老人進城來》，輕快又富涵幽默趣味的琴聲，配上卡羅渾厚帶著搖滾的嗓音，聖誕老人彷彿真的搖擺的進城來了，現場洋溢著搖滾派對般的熱鬧氛圍。
