3. Chamber Concert 2022: David Dyakov

Bach, Albéniz, Brahms, Piazzolla & Paganini

The Bulgarian guitarist David Dyakov, who lives in Cologne, is one of the most prominent guitarists of his generation. He combines the highest virtuosity, fine musicality and clever interpretation in such a harmonious way that is only found in very great musicians.

David Dyakov has won more than 20 international guitar competitions and performs all over the world as a celebrated soloist. With a solo evening, we now want to give him and his "niche instrument" - the classical guitar - the space they deserve at the chamber concerts.
In addition to original works by Hans Werner Henze and Niccolò Paganini, David Dyakov will present three arrangements for guitar that have become legendary: the Toccata from Bach's 6th Piano Partita and the second Intermezzo by Brahms, masterfully arranged by Hubert Käppel, as well as the highly virtuoso arrangement of Piazzolla's "Estaciones Porteñas" by the well-known Brazilian guitarist Sérgio Assad.

In December 2020 David Dyakov was supposed to perform at the chamber concerts at the Kunstverein. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the concert was not allowed to take place then. Instead, we made a video production and are happy to put a breathtaking "preview" for his concert in June 11, 2022 online:
