@Chase Ray I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Kapustin compositions is a mixture of classical and with jazz tones. What a beautiful atonal harmony and fabulous rhythms ! Never tire listening to the elegant crazy music
I usually do not comment videos, but for this one I just had to. First of all: what a brilliant channel. I have just discovered it and the content found here is gold. Thank you. Second of all: this specific post brought back so many precious memories, it felt appropriate to share them here - if only to make an other person smile at the thought of these stories. Hamelin played the same Kapustin Sonata at a concert I attended 20 years ago in a packed-up church in Mascouche, Québec. I was 15 years old at the time and had discovered Marc-André a few months prior, thanks to a neighbor who lent me his recording of Alkan's Concerto for Solo Piano - it was a radio broadcast, on a tape cassette. I was very impressed by his virtuosity and I went to the concert with the hope of exchanging a few words with the man and maybe, since I was some kind of a fanboy at the time, get him to sign a score I owned. I showed up there 30 minutes before the concert, and there he was. Idly standing on the front square of the church, smoking a cigarette. I approached him and said hi. He nodded. He was very affable. I can not remember a word of that conversation (I was so nervous), but I did ask him if he would mind signing the score I had brought - it was Liszt's First Piano Concerto. He looked at it and said, with the kind of humor my former younger self could not decipher: 'Oh, do you truly deem me worthy of this?' (but in French). The rest is also a blur. I obviously said thank you and then there I was, inside the church, ready to listen. The concert was intense and the people were very focused. The program was both sober and wild - Shostakovich, Scriabin, Medtner and finally the elusive Kapustin, whom no one had ever heard about, to close the deal. As soon as Hamelin started playing the Sonata, everyone went completely silent. A wave of excitement and disbelief flooded the whole building. It was a warm July evening. You could 'feel' the crowd. Everything was electric. I started noticing people around me, staring at each others and at strangers like me, their eyes clearly saying: 'This shit is insane. Am I Right?' The performance ended with what has to be the wildest roar I have ever heard in classical music concert. The crowd went mental. The whole thing was almost too much. He then proceeded to finish us with Kapustin's 7th Concert Etude and a dazzling rendition of Massenet's 'La Valse Folle'. I saw him after the concert and asked him if after all this, he would grant me the honor of seeing play his own cadenza on Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody, up close. He said he had to decline, because he had too many people to meet (he was indeed surrounded), but told me 'If we ever meet again, I promise I will play it for you.' It has been 20 years. And since Marc-André is known for his insane memory, I am pretty sure if our paths ever cross again, he would remember... and then play the whole damn thing without even breaking a sweat.
Marc Andre is such an amazing person. I met him before his rehearsal and he sat to sign and to talk with me and my friends. The day of the concert we were taking after this performances (he played Grieg's piano concerto). And daaaamn, he's such an amazing person. I really would like to meet him again.
No mortal human being can play the fourth movement as fast as Hamelin does, but then Hamelin is not human so that explains it all! I have often wondered what Hamelin's fellow Canadian pianist, the legendary Glenn Gould, would have done with Kapustin's music, especially this sonata, had he known of any of his oeuvre and had lived long enough to perform it.
Fantástica Sonata del Maestro Nikolai Kapustin (R.I.P.)! Tiene un estilo excelentemente sincopado a la manera del Jazz. Presenta en su estructura mezclas de los compositores franceses C. Debusy y M. Ravel. Incluso, lleva aires de S. Prokofiev y Bella Bartók. Muchas Gracias! Por tan notable interpretación de este extraordinario pianista! Bendiciones!!!
Thank you for uploading this video, and hope not to be sensored. I love this play, even all seconds of moments, and I knew how great Hamelin the player is. I know he is also good at composing, I really look forward to be more famous and major. He is just a awesome man.
Such a unique classical interpretation of Kapustin's works. I've long been a fan of Kapustin and I love Hamelin's Alkan recordings. I never knew he played Kapustin! What's doesn't Hamelin play? Stockhausen?
This music is not for large halls and not for playing at so much fast tempos. Large hall reverb blends the end of one harmony and beginning of the next one and fast tempo makes the harmonies to flicker. Also a lack of the steady rhythm at extremely fast tempos spoils syncopated notes.
Sad that this performance sacrifices rhythmic groove and clarity for speed. I wish classically trained pianists would listen more carefully to Kapustin's own recordings. For example, Kapustin swings the second theme of the first movement ever so slightly. I've rarely heard this in other performances. In fact, if you listen carefully, Kapustin swings all the quavers very very subtly, and you can feel it! I think ignoring the rhythmic practices of jazz loses a lot from this music!!! (Of course there are many things to enjoy in this performance but I am missing the groove so badly!!!)
Seems like I'm not the only one missing the swing at Kapustin's quavers and complaining about everyone playing Kapustin faster than himself. This work is difficult enough to listen to - playing it even faster doesn't work musically.
I agree and at the same time, I don't want Hamelin to play like Kapustin, otherwise I would listen to Kapustin! Hamelin has a different way to see this music and the fact that his rendition keeps this level of musicality makes Kapustin shine even more!

The unbeaten performance of sonata 2. I was hooked right away when I heard it in the car radio by total chance

TIL Marc-Andre smokes.
@@thenameisgsarci ...or used to smoke! I can not confirm if this is still accurate.
@@edrikh I've known him for decades. I don't believe he ever smoked.
Kapustin's piano style reminds a little of Art Tatum's stride style in the sense that it is so dense, or complex, there's so much nervous
energy there

A mind blowing performance of this terrific piano music.
I'm only now hearing about maestro Kapustin's passing. Such a legendary composer for piano and big band.
The 4th movement is insane! Exhilarating 😄
This is amazing! Kapustin and Hamelin!
kapustin's recording is incredible, but the last movement was definitely made to be played at this faster tempo
Yes, this is THE performance of this chef-d'œuvre! And how different (and so much better) it is compared to Hamelin's CD version!
Hamelin once again proves his mastery of the keyboard in Kapustin's music. I wonder if he could shift easily into jazz???❗❗❗

Brilliant and much better than the CD I bought many years ago.
beautifully played.
Listened again and found the music just is note very good.
Probably the best like ratio I've ever seen
Saludos desde MÉXICO!!!
what a cavalry! Hells and heavens together!
Amazing...
Probably the only major piece which imitates not the symphony orchestra but the jazz band!
ジャズなんか現代音楽なのかクラシックなのか
いやあもうまどっこしい！！
カッコいい音楽なんだよ！！
それでいいじゃねえか！！

I 100% agree so many motifs and nuances are missed, did mr Hamelin have to get to a drs appointment??
I do like this but it is very different from the original which I prefer
... even sacrifices the right notes 4:46
based
I think he plays it way too fast.
I like it this way :D
Too fast ! (just a little bit)
Why is he so fast... I don't think Kapustin's music works any faster than himself
I like it :D
@@ShutUpZewenThisIsNotBased idk, it's like eating food as fast as possible without even enjoying it
@@tarikeld11 I am enjoying it 🥰
@@ShutUpZewenThisIsNotBased I know, there are also people enjoying eating fast, some don't 😂
Kapustin is Ukrainian not Russian
Kapustin is neither Ukrainian nor Russian really - he's a Jew who was born in Horlivka but spent most of his life in Moscow

Great technically speaking, art... Is not so obvious!
Disappointed by his Alkan 30 ans performance, but this is pretty good.
