  • @musicsdarkangel
    @musicsdarkangel 9 лет назад +23

    First of all, I just wanted to say that this is fantastic and she did a great job. That said, all of the classical pianists performing Kapustin are lacking the emphasis on rhythms, especially the syncopations. If you listen to Kapustin's original recordings, they're groovy as hell. It's jazz!

    • @theomartin6238

      +bledredwine First of all, it is classical music and form (20th century classical music) with some blues improvisations.

    • @Dave-xr3rj
      @Dave-xr3rj 7 лет назад +3

      these are very standard jazz chord progressions with a funk influenced bass line theo. When you change the chords in this way it's no longer classical, as per the definition. It certainly has classical influences, but there are much stronger jazz influences at play here.

    • @powadox
      @powadox 5 лет назад +3

      She's also playing it far too fast that the original rhythm and polyphony kinda disappears and it's a bit of a letdown on that note. Amazing skill amd dexterity though!

    • @B0XMATTER
      @B0XMATTER Год назад +1

      Yeah it has zero rhythm going for it.

  • @FirstLast-uj9ud
    @FirstLast-uj9ud 5 лет назад +2

    A lot of people claim that this is "too fast" for this piece... I personally think that the speed quite compliments the syncopated and rhythmic nature of the piece, and that, if it were to be played any slower, it would not have the same driving effect that it does in this version. So long as a piece is played with complete control and precision, and that the interpretation doesn't lose musicality and dynamic expression (which I don't find happening here), I really don't see a problem with playing a piece "faster" than it should be.

  • @markfowlermusic
    @markfowlermusic 10 лет назад +48

    If you think this is played too fast have a listen to Yeol Eum Son's performance of no.8 lol.
    I like this performance a lot, love it this fast, but also think Kapustin can't be beaten on his own recording which I own. It's the jazz side of the music you hear more with him, the jazz nuances etc.

    • @theomartin6238
      @theomartin6238 8 лет назад +4

      +Mark Fowler And what is jazz without classical music? A lot of jazz music is clearly based on classical music. Kapustin was classical composer with some blues pentatonic improvisations.

    • @Kiarinadia
      @Kiarinadia 7 лет назад +9

      Which "jazz nuances" ? Kapustin interpretation is so monotonous and monochronus ! He is the genious composer of those marvel but clearly these sort of pianists surpass him in the rendition. Because classical pianistes are so used to multiple differences in the sounds to shape momentum and eloquence out of the notes...

    • @Dave-xr3rj
      @Dave-xr3rj 7 лет назад +6

      I completely agree with Kiarindia. This performance here is better than Kasputin himself, and agree that Kasputin is a great composer considering he is a classical musician, but even the very best classical piano players struggle with rhythms that even the most amateur jazz pianists can play without thinking.
      This tempo is perfect for highlighting a short toccata with a rhythm in perpetual motion that is fundamental to similar works. This is not a ballade or sonata.
      This in turn allows sections like 0:44 and the left hand 1:00 to 1:05 and then from 1:05 to around 1:15 to have any meaning whatsoever. They would pointless without a fast and clear pulse to force the rhythm into the centre. There are certainly opportunities to be more expressive such as 1:48 to 1:50 that can use a slower tempo
      I would also argue that classical musicians could do with picking up the pace a little in their solo compositions to reflect the faster tempo heard today; utilising pop as an influence instead of clinging to old interpretations to convey the same message

    • @ColdFishMus
      @ColdFishMus 5 лет назад +4

      Kiarinadia sorry a bit late to the party, but I do have to disagree, I don't have the vocabulary to describe the details, but the guy up there is correct. Classical pianists, especially those who have been doing classical materials their whole lives simply cannot reproduce the "sound" that jazz musicians can make, probably the subtle shifts in rhythm, or usage of pedal. I would personally argue that it is almost a completely separate realm in music than classical, and it takes years of training and listening to grasp it's details.

    • @rizz7604
      @rizz7604 4 года назад +3

      I think the classical pianists here are being a wee bit over-defensive of classical pianists :P The idea that performers take the pieces to new heights beyond what the composer themselves reach is extremely classical (how else can non-composing performers justify their existence???), and I don't think it necessarily applies here. Perhaps so with Rach and Chopin...and even that's debatable...
      Having said that, her performance is outstanding. Not as groovy as Kapustin's, but outstanding nonetheless.

  • @Lstyle1703
    @Lstyle1703 13 лет назад +1

    I like how she (intentionally?) played an F flat instead of F sharp during the descending part (from 0:51-0:52). That tiny change made it sound much more intense and sophisticated, which compliments her aggressive yet elegant playing style!

  • @nostromissimo
    @nostromissimo 14 лет назад

    I don't know how anyone can say anything bad about this. It is rhythmic, has urgency, a good sense of tone and she knows the difference between melody and accompaniment. Kapustin's music is Jazz-like, but it's not Jazz. Kapustin's own interpretations don't swing, as his op 40 n7 recording proves. Don't treat this music as Jazz. Interpret his music any way you want to. Just treat it as good music whatever bracket you think it belongs in.

    Very nice indeed, It took a lot of work to get that piece up to that speed.
    I tried it long ago as a student before the piece was well known, I knew I would
    be forever triying to build that speed, and maybe not be happy with it.
    She might appear a bit conceited, probably she was happy having payed it
    all that well. Playing a piece that difficult all the way through well is an acheivment!!!
