Yet another Jazz-influenced discovery - the music of Nikolai Kapustin

8/30/2021

 
Interest has been building in the works of Nikolai Kapustin, who wrote in classical styles, with a jazzy spin.  I read an article recently, which I link for you here, about a Russian composer whose name I had heard of but really hadn't explored his music.  Kapustin wrote many, many works for solo piano, but also symphonies and chamber music.  He died in 2020, and was largely "undiscovered" until recent decades when both Steven Osbourne and Marc-Andre Hamelin (both marvelous pianists who often look beyond the traditional piano repertoire) released wonderful recordings of Kapustin's solo piano music.  Much of the music is available from Schott publishing, and you won't find on imslp, of course.  Listen to this recording on youtube of Kapustin himself performing his own "24 Preludes in a Jazz Style" and let me know what you think!
