I stumbled upon some RussianDVD links that play complete random tracks from two CD's with Nikolai Kapustin playing his own works. Absolutely mindblowing pianism ! He gives every conventional virtuoso pianist a run for his/her money. Probably one of the most unique composer-pianists of these times. I forgot the links but if you go to www.ebay.com and do a search on "kapustin" you see them on the first page (with cover images of the composer). Enjoy.
Thousand thanks for this link!! Just heard him playing the "Motive Force"..... :shock: 8) ...I could listen the whole day to this piece, it's so funky ! Yes, he can be proud on his technique :wink:
You were pretty quick in picking that up :wink: But better later than never. Yeah, Kapustin rulez There's some footage of him playing on YouTube as well. Do check it out !
Hey there's a new cd: Kapustin returns! http://www.nikolaikapustin.net/ He plays some new stuff here, it seems that I have to order this one....
Though I generally like Andaloro in the romantic and late-romantic repertoire, I find his Kapustin overpedaled and lacking of clarity. IMO much better, among the less known pianists on YT, Valeria Vetruccio: http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=sN0xQL4JhEY. And I am sure you'll love this one: http://www.valeriavetruccio.com/audio/bis.mp3
