Music reviews of Jazz Pieces For Piano - Nikolai Kapustin
Music Review: Crossover jazzy composer Mr. Kapustin
Rating: 5 Stars
Nikolai Kapustin is rather only recently gaining more attention, with two recent CD releases on Hyperion by Steven Osborne (2000) and Marc-Andre Hamelin (2004) completely devoted to Kapustin's music.
All the pieces on the current CD (except for the Sonata-Fantasy) are also on Hamelin's new album. The music is a 'fusion' between classical forms and jazz idioms. As the composer himself states, he classical forms are more important than jazz forms; the jazz is there to provide the music with color. Many of the pieces are delightful and should be appealing to a wide audience. Also, the listener gets the impression the pieces are improvised, when they are being played as written, so meticulous and well-thought out is Mr. Kapustin's music.
This CD, along with the Hamelin disc, should be in every pianophile's collection.
