After the ‘concert for the privileged’ – as the author has defined it – that the Frenchman Sofiane Pamart offered at Jazzaldia in 2022, it was time to revalidate the success before larger audiences. The San Sebastian theater was almost full, with quite a few people coming from the other side of the street to attend the new stop of the heterogeneous pianist.
Visually shocking: Earring in the ear, dyed hair and baggy clothes that seemed to connect him to the grand piano that presided over the room and that this Monday was positioned as heeled as the performer. Vacilón in the encores like we have not seen even in trap. And then running to the door to take photos and chat with his followers.
Sofiane Pamart
Performers: Sofiane Pamart (piano).
Place: Victoria Eugenia Theater (Donostia).
Day: 6-11-2023.
Attendance: About 750 people.
Musically, the approach must be applauded. Far from strict classicism, Pamart manages to structure a long hour of instrumental concert for modern ears, relying on diversity and variations. One remembers in more than one moment the score of the television series ‘Succession’. And from the cinema. The film has great relevance in a walk that opens the colored umbrellas of Cherbourg or seeks, and sometimes finds, the fierceness of silent cinema in the stormy attacks.
The Latin thing, very present in his last album, emerged when he wanted to radiate happiness. The sum was completed with many romantic passages, honeyed eighth notes, Italian details, beautiful natural inspirations, bursts of cute rage and dramatic seconds. Standing out in the crescendos and subsequent stops, the pieces shone in the exciting progressions and the great respect shown by the French ‘chanson’.
