Third movement is marked 92 bpm in this Schott edition, which is outrageously fast. This performance is around 72, which seems musically right, so I want to believe the 9 is an unfortunate typo on Schott’s part. Can anyone with a copy of the MS or the old edition confirm?
REAL Though that aside, while Kawakami usually just simply not swing, I find him always locked in with the rhythm. For example, in the middle section of the Scherzo with the quick meter changes, this is the only recording that doesn't mess the rhythm up ...
@@musicboiscores that's true, he's always very precise with rhythms and dynamics, even in fast sections - on the one hand, this is making his performances very clean and not that "blurry". On the other hand, it sounds too stiff sometimes and doesn't allow for swing, which is essential for Kapustin's music...
@@tarikeld11 That's a fair point indeed.. the only other recording that I'm aware of, which is Immanuel Davis accompanied with Timothy Lovelace, does swing in the obvious parts and it is more idiomatic and less stiff that way. However I ended up choosing this recording anyways since I felt that Kapustin's music really needs tight rhythmic playing. So well I guess... for now one has to choose their own poison for recordings of this piece
just found this...ok, it's official, he's my favorite composer...man, this is amazing.
