    Kapustin's beautiful climaxes of his music are like bright pearls on an infinite beach with muddy sand. If you listen those climaxes of his music, you will never forget them. And after you find those pearls, you will visit the infinite beach again and again. You will never forget those songs.

    This one is so beautiful, especially the fourth movement. It's all so natural and full of life

    Kapustin's style is indirectly linked to Scriabin. His place in musical history is that through direct interaction with jazz harmony he has updated and rescued romanticism which is actually the reverse of what the word romantic implies. The real goal of romanticism in art is to use fictional vehicles to express real human emotions. Now, will there be sufficient pianistic talent to take these pieces and make them their own? We see some of this already. It's a good sign.

    This is probably my favorite piano sonata. I've loved the Chopin sonata 2 the most for a long long time, but this is just so rich and powerful, fun and exciting...words cant describe the beauty and transcendence of this music

    I love this piece, and Kapustin plays it incredibly well. Personally, I prefer Steven Osborne's recording on Hyperion: It's equally virtuosic - and simply more beautiful, by turns ebullient, relaxed, witty and elegant. Kapustin's playing is of course very "Russian school," and it has something percussive and relentless about it that I find a bit off-putting and ultimately very tiring.
    But the guy's a creative genius, no doubt about it, and his own playing sets standards that will remain awfully hard for anyone else to reach.
    Viva Kapustin!

      Exactly my feeling about Kapustin's playing, too. I'd give anything to be able to play like that, and then if I could, I'd do it differently....

    • @p1anosteve
      @p1anosteve 8 лет назад +8

      I have both recordings too and share your preference. It's difficult to compare though, because the sound engineer and piano/acoustic are not comparable. I get the feeling in this version the microphones were too close. Osborne also benefits from a warmer acoustic and slightly less bright piano.

    • @DdavidoffC
      @DdavidoffC 7 лет назад +15

      Personally, I generally prefer Kapustin's recordings of his own works: there's just something so raw and punchy and crisp about them that really suits the jazzy influence behind them.
