From MusT, the publisher of Kapustin's music [outside of Japan]:
I am pleased to tell you that Nikolai Kapustin's Sonata No 5 op 61 for piano solo is now available in print, and will be available to buy from our website www.tutti.co.uk in a couple of days' time.
A four-note sequence - tentatively stated in bar 2 - forms the backbone of this work, which Kapustin composed in 1991. The first movement functions as a sketchbook of musical ideas in various moods
and at contrasting speeds, and the second’s slow choral-spiritual feel reminds one of the same movement in the sixth Sonata that followed later that year.
The finale, with its heavy blue thirds and offbeat staccato quavers, could easily have been Kapustin’s eleventh Bagatelle; the whole Sonata, brimful with rapid twists and turns that are brought together cohesively in this last movement, lasts just 12 minutes.
The fifth Sonata has been recorded by the composer on "Jazz Portrait"
Check the DAD Records distributors list for availability. Album Details Here
Eckart Runge and Jacques Ammon are "celloproject." Since 1998, their work has elated international audiences with their high level of creativity shown in their original arrangements and repertoire that range from the Tango (e.g. Piazzolla, Gardel) Jazz (Kapustin and Corea), as well as film music of Rota, Chaplin and Schostakowitsch. Check out their web site at celloproject for Video and Audio including a few Kapustin pieces.
All these works have been recorded by the composer. Recording can be purchased through the links above.
New PublicationOn 18 July 2006 MusT will publish the first of Nikolai Kapustin's major works for chamber ensemble. The Trio for flute, cello and piano was - at the time of its composition in 1998 - Kapustin’s first chamber composition, with piano, for more than two players. It has since proved to be one of his most popular works, with its energetic, jazzy opening movement, languid Andante and joyous finale, and much of its attractiveness lies in the equal share Kapustin gives to each performer. The piece was given its UK premiere at the Shaw Theatre, London, in February 2006 to much critical acclaim.
