Lugansky is probably the best pianist alive; a lot of pianists have certain qualities they truly excel at, often several, but typically have some weak areas too, whereas Lugansky is simply fantastic in every regard, amazing and precise technique, brilliant clarity, fantastic timekeeping, incredible phrasing, as great feel for the groove as any professional jazz pianist, highly expressive emotionally, and I could go on and on. One of humanity's gems for sure.
Игра на высоком профессиональном уровне,сама музыкальная композиция настолько многоуровневая и при этом динамичная,что требует высокой степени канцентрации и внимания.Брависсимо!!!!!
Maybe it's just me, but I would've enjoyed hearing this about half as fast. 🤷♂ Может быть, это только мое мнение, но хотелось бы услышать это примерно вдвое медленнее. 🤷♂
came here after listening to him playing Rachmaninov/Mendelssohn scherzo.. this here now sounds a bit like Rachmaninov being a bit tipsy and going berserk on some variations he improvised on Gershwin esque themes.. played double time :p
Kapustin's recordings are the most rhythmic of any Kapustin works recorded, but perhaps due to recording quality or the composer himself, it sometimes lacks dynamic nuance and colors
@@SCRIABINIST: Not true; Kapustin plays with amazing rhythm for sure, but there are some renditions here on TH-cam that are even better. You have to dig for them though, most people can't play his works well at all.
Well, it shouldn't be swung though. The score says nothing about swing, and Kapustin isn't playing with swing feeling in his own recording either. To me it's more a latin feel.
@@ВеликийМудрец-д6р No, I might know what you mean with "real jazz". My request had only rhethorical meaning, obviously. What real jazz is, is subjective, but objectively one can say that Kapustins compositions (which reflect his knowledge about jazz harmonie) are meant honestly, throughout his life he composed in this style with convincement and the dedication to deliver jazz into the classical repertoire in a natural way. Well, great pianist play it for a long period now, they are musically and technically demanding, but the public likes it. So what is there fake about it?
@@peterfritz6689 just because the public likes it and "great" pianists have been playing it for years does not make it authentic jazz. It is reminiscent of jazz, which may lead one to call it "jazz-y" but to ME it is not real jazz, hence I said "fake". It didn't move me enough to elevate to a status of real jazz. Hope this answers your question.
@@ВеликийМудрец-д6р Oh,when did I say that the aspect of the public liking it or great pianists playing it make it "authentic"? Well, of course for the deconstructional jazz, innovative jazz you need to look somewhere, there we agree surely. But still, the fact that Kapustin wanted to bring jazz elemnts or even jazz in general into the classical repertoire, into the line of great Piano Etudes from Chopin to Liszt to Skrjabin and Rachmaninoff and Debussy makes it to something very authentic, which hasn't been there before.
I'm so glad he is broadening his repertoire! He plays Kapustin wonderfully!
Rest in peace Nikolai Kapustin (November 22, 1937 - July 2, 2020) :(
Wow, just when I picked up this piece as well.
OMG.... I didn't know that....
so sad ....R.I.P.
lie.
😭😭😭😭
Луганский просто великолепен , впрочем как всегда ! Бравооо👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Николай Капустин- Гениальный композитор!!! Слушайте Николая Капустина в 2024 году и настроение будет всегда на высоте!
To zuevfisher: And an incredibly masterful performance, right up there with Hamelin's and the composer's.
Is this Lugansky? I didn't expect him to play like this😲
It's amazing and super cool👍

Extraordinaire.
Overall really great performance of this difficult study. Lugansky’s clarity and voicing are awesome
역시 루간스키! 클래스가 대단하긴하구나
GENIUS LUGANSKY!
Ah...what a wonderful composer,,,so exciting and so tricky and great ...aye cause a rumble up there !
와... 대박이다 진짜....
Amazing composer, Amazing perfomer!
1:41 HOW CAN THEY MAKE THESE FACES after hearing him play??
I was like whaaaat? No way, my jaw stayed dropped the entire way :’D
same guy at 2:44
??? They're smiling ?? What's wrong with this ??
wowwww......MAESTRO!.....
oh man this man inspiring me to learn this piece. Love his playing.
Это Луганский? Капец как круто
Maybe it's just me, but I would've enjoyed hearing this about half as fast. 🤷♂

My hero!
Бравооо👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹
Nice performance but I now see how people criticize playing these etudes with too much pedal. It was a tad muddy.
See Ben Kim for very sensitive performance of Kapustin!
What a luxury lullaby this is for a sleeping man
How does this compare with the version by Yuja Wang? She has the chops, but Lugansky has more soul.
Where is this concert hall?
Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow
Omg !♥

Пианист:🔥
Мужик на 1:41 : ☠
Мужик на 2:43 : 🔥
I would be overjoyed if he were to play Toccatina too, as well as the Prelude.
лучше Марка Андрея Амлена ещё никто не исполнил!
Lugansky plays it better than Kapustin himself.

Many good pianist play, but Lagunsky play, the metromne is correct... this piece will fail if played even slower.
Awesome technique absolutely staggering tempo and power, but lacking in swing. I think it's too fast!
Agree for the lack of swing
Well, it shouldn't be swung though. The score says nothing about swing, and Kapustin isn't playing with swing feeling in his own recording either. To me it's more a latin feel.
Not too fast. The temp is ok. However, he is playing Rakhmaninov rather than Kapustin. Swing and jazz are missing
@@towardstheflame It's true that he said his music is not jazz but when you listen to him play his prelude op 53 no11 he does swing like no one else!
fake jazz
Ok,show us your real jazz
@@peterfritz6689 , you want recent jazz or jazz from 50's, 60's, 70's? How would you like me to show you? I can attach links to real jazz here.
